  • Here’s what’s inside a Volkswagen Diesel engine and how it works!
    In this video, Volkswagen turbo diesel BRM engine from a 2006 Jetta TDI with 295,000km on it is torn down. Diesel engines have some major differences in operation and composition than gasoline engines. They are the most thermally efficient engine, despite the controversy surrounding its emissions. Diesel engines provide a lot of torque, which is why it is found in many heavier duty applications besides VW/Audi passenger cars.
    Diesel engines vary in operation from gasoline engines in that their combustion is controlled by compression, rather than ignition. Air is compressed as the piston moves up within the cylinder and then fuel is injected near the top. The resulting high pressure and temperature causes the fuel to atomize and combust, without the need for an ignition source, such as a spark plug. Glow plugs are used only when the air temperature is very cold to help start the engine. The resulting combustion is uncontrolled and pushes the piston down, creating work to rotate the crankshaft. Piston heads have a small crater in the top to allow the fuel to be directly injected when the piston is at top center.
    The amount of combustion and thus engine speed is controlled by how much fuel is injected into the cylinder, as opposed to a gasoline engine which uses a throttle body to control the amount of air. Thus, diesel engines benefit from a higher compression and by running lean using a turbocharger to force more air into the combustion chamber, and don’t need a throttle body during regular operation.

    Great vid as per usual! Here's a bit of trivia if someone's interested. The 1.9 started its life as the early 90s L5 2.5 TDI, they pretty much just cut off a cylinder. The goes to the L3 1.4 TDI, in which they cut off another cylinder making it a 3 banger. The bore and stroke are exactly the same across all engines.
    They come standard with forged internals, hence their heft. Forged pistons, forged conrods and forged crankshaft.
    Here in Europe they're some of the most sought after engines in the tuning scene as you can easily and fairly reliably double WHP for under 1000$. Plus, they're very fuel efficient returning more than 6L/100km or about 35 mpg. Even when tuned they return very good fuel consumption.
    You definitely pay a premium for them despite them being really common. Parts are on the cheaper side and you can even buy a brand new block with pistons from VW for about €600. At a junkyard you can get complete engines with turbos for around €800. They're a very common engine swap given how much support there is for them.
    They're very responsive given their small variable geometry turbo but they really do not like to rev. The older Verteilerpumpe ones (mechanical pump) are more rev happy but revving any TDI past 3.5K feels like revving a gasoline engine past 8K rpm. Past 4.5K feels like the engine is going to grenade itself.
    Obviously they have their common failures: MAF is a chronical one and on the PDs, the camshaft is a common one as well but other than that, there's the odd cylinder head developing cracks on the earlier PD engines but not much more about it. I'm no mechanic but we've owned several 1.9s, both VP and PD and we've never had any issue other than the MAF failing or an odd boost pipe just falling off lol. Combined, our TDIs covered more than 1,000,000km 😁 the first we owned was in the mid 90s, an 1Z, we then owned an AFN from 2000 to 2020 and now we have my AJM PD mk4. You can definitely feel that the PDs are way more torquier, but you can't beat the sound of a VP TDI. Especially the AFN, it just sounds absolutely fantastic. All in all, trouble free motoring, really. Parked for a month? No problem, just turn the key and it'll come to life right up :) but let's not get started about those pesky vw electrical gremlins...

      I will be taking it apart to diagnose a compression issue that is causing a misfire.
      I am amazed how clean the engine internals look and how little visible wear there is on this half a million mile engine that has never been apart. Even the original turbo survived the 500K miles of use.
      Another impressive thing was the compression readings on 3 out of 4 cylinders was at full maximum spec of 450psi.

    I had 3 VW Jetta diesels. The first was a disaster. It was 1986 automatic, found out that it had been used as a taxi in Quebec. The main issue with this one was the placement of the starter, which was directly below the exhaust manifold which caused the starter to fail. The last one was a 2002 Jetta TDI, great car and fantastic fuel economy. It lasted 375,000 till it was written off in an accident.

      I have one with 550 000 km, car bought new back in 2005. Not a single repair was done until now, not even a cleanup of the intake and it still runs pretty good. Not the most refined (far from it), but these PD engines have a characteristic "brutal" pull that you will not get in any other engine.

      Passat had two engine issues: a. at 8 years the bolt that kept the crank shaft pulley loosened allowing the pulley to wear a little the shaft's end. This was fixed without taking out the crank shaft by an ingenious lathe mechanic. Never had issues with that after. The second issues was some bad casting in the clutch fork that made it fail at 13 years in a "lightning" pattern. Clutch disc was still original and alive at the next owner when the car was 25 years and 300.000km (186.000 miles) mileage.
      Tiguan had throttle body replaced twice (yes, they introduced throttle bodies on Diesels in the mean time) - those are cheap (120$) but nasty as they leave you stranded because they remained stuck closed, a differential sensor for the particulate filter (40$). Also the turbo vacuum capsule failed due to the rubber membrane cracking (200$) at 10 years old. Nothing else engine related.

    Actually, PD engines had 2-stage injectors, they were able to inject pilot and main fuel doses only. It was one of the reasons these engines had such a poor NVH (aside of 1.508 rod ratio). But at the time of their introduction, they were more reliable than Common Rail. They were pretty nice motors (I've had ASZ type), reliably taking around 170 HP with only soft and north of 200 HP with bigger turbo and proper tuning. Rotating assembly was very stout, the heads and accessories weren't so great though - you've mentioned camshaft, it had too narrow lobes, so failure around 300K kms was common, injectors were asymmetrically bolted to the head what caused injector socket wear. Plus they had troubles with failing AFMs, temp sensors, faulty PCV system (integrated with valve cover, so quite expensive) throwing oil into intake, leaking "tandem pump" (vacuum and fuel pump mounted on the camshaft), which caused oil dilution. No biggies individually, but high mileage engine is usually a source of them all at the same time. And new injectors (unit injectors I should say) cost usually way too much to make the overhaul reasonable.

      I think their eventual demise was due to the fact that they couldn't engineer the injection timing to work with the DPF that became necessary. So, for example, post combustion fuel injection wasn't possible as the injector lobe on the cam would be past the point where injection is possible.

      @pancakewsx Před rokem +2

      @@julianstafford7071 I guess there were more reasons in general, but that was possibly one of them, PD can only make two injection events per cycle. But also common rail got way better in the meantime offering many improvements - competitive (or higher) injection pressures, cheaper injectors, simpler valvetrain (no extra lobes for unit injector rockers), and full control on up to five injection events. So not only good for DPF, but for NVH as well.

    Great review as always. Makes me wonder. Those diesel's are super reliable with proper maintenance. Less RPM's more torque, better bang for the buck overall. More heat in diesel fuel, more work being done. US cetane ratings PP, 40 on average. Too low as is the overall combustion temperatures from such fuel. You know what that does to the Cat converters. Shame you need to buy fuel additive and DEF. Thanks again Sk99!

      @@speedkar99 The engine you tore down looks to be a PD tdi. The PD stands for the type of injection system (Pumpe-Düse in german). As seen in the video, the injectors are located in the head and interact with the cam but are driven electronically. The ALH is the same displacement but the injection system differs. The injectors are purely mechanical (no piezo or solenoids) and there is a high pressure diesel fuel pump located on the engine. The engine si also direct injection one, but the injectors are not in the head, rather they reach the combustion chamber from the side of the head (really easy to get to them). Here in Europe they are still around and although the cars they are in can be up to 20+ yrs old, the engines still refuse to die. Mine had over 600k kms and was still going strong. It is also possible to mod the heck out of them and they hold up. The average consumption can go as low as 3 liters per 100 km, although normal person would get somewhere over 4.5 - 5 l/100kms which is still lower than for PD engines. Many people just scrap the cars because they are rusted through, but the engines usually still run ok. If you sourced one (could be high mileage too) it would be interesting to see the internals and all the bearings tho.

    Correction: When they say that diesels have uncontrolled combustion they don't talk about the ratio of the air fuel mixture. They talk about how the combustion starts. In diesel engines the combustion does not start uniformly like it does in a gas engine where the combustion starts at the spark plug and the flame front travels equally in all directions slowly burning all the fuel. What happens is that combustion starts at many different places inside the cylinder and happens immediately. Since the temperature rises all over inside the cylinder, there is no specific spot that a flame front can start and expand beautifully like it happens in gassers. Diesel just ignites all over the place instantly

      I'm a mechanic myself, and worked on Skoda (VW sub-brand), and many VW, Audi, Seat aswell.
      What he shows in the video is a Pumpe-Düse injection. VW is the only brand known to me, using this system in cars. I think cummins uses it in their trucks.
      Wanna know more about pumpe-düse?

      Backhoe? Please explain.
      Also that throttle is to stop the engine.

      that's the normal configuration for a commonrail engine. The injectors are simpler by not having to generate the high pressure themselves as the PD injectors must do (no high pressure pump in the PD engine but the injectors have a hard life as does the head).

    I have this engine in my Skoda Octavia 08. The turbo leaks oil so they are not that good, my car has over 32 thousand kilometers, at 22 thousand I had to replace the camshaft, costs exactly the value of the car if you don't do it yourself. I regret today that I bought a diesel car, and regret even more that it had to be a VW engine.
