turbodave Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I'm really bad at estimating - I'm going to say something like 325kg - but am probably way off! So, does anyone have a better guestimate than me of the weight of a 'fully dressed' Tdi including flywheel/clutch, starter, turbo, PAS, etc. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B reg 90 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 think it is 210kg Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipx2 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 300tdi is 205 kg. HS 2.8 is 208/205 kg both with ancillaries, both dry. 200tdi shouldn't be far from those values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Hancock Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 The copy i have of the leaflet that came with the landrover retro 200Tdi into 90/110 conversion quotes 271Kg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbodave Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Wow - learn somethign new every day!!!! I never knew about the HS Phil - does your leaflet comment on what state the engine is in for that weight? Is it the complete crate that would arrive for the conversion, or a fully dressed, wet engine? Any chance of a scan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 270KG in fully dressed but dry state,from the same source as Phil's info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbodave Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Cheers, 208 vs 270 is some deviation. Wonder how the figures are so far apart? I wouldn't have thought a flywheel and starter would be the difference alone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Dragging this one up from the past. Does anyone know the weight of a 2.5TD? Just put the 200TDi in my 90 and she's low at the front so I am guessing the engine is heavier? Engine / box (auto) combo is also further forward than the TD so that wont help either...

Aragorn Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 i'd imagine the TD and TDi weigh similar amounts. The block design is pretty similar and they both have cast iron cylinder heads and turbochargers perhaps the engine being moved further forward has altered the weight distribution and put more weight over the front axle?

Mr Bean Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I'm no expert but i'd say the V8 is the lightest of the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 The block design is pretty similar and they both have cast iron cylinder heads No they don't a 200Tdi has a alloy cylinder head a TD would be a bit heavier around 280 to 300kg.

Aragorn Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 ah i didnt realise the Tdi's had alloy heads, i thaught they were all cast iron brutes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibbon Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Does anyone happen to know the weight of a TDV8..... Might need one for the new toy soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 No, but to give you an idea, my Audi V8 is 210kgs. I dont believe a TDI can be anywhere near 270kgs. A basic petrol I4 car engines with iron block and alloy head would come in around 150kgs, diesels and turbocharged engines will tend to be heavier. I've personally weighed a Vauxhall 2.0 16v motor, which came in at 195kgs fully dressed with oil and transmission. The tranny is about 35kgs on its own, so the engine was approx 160kgs, and that includes the exhaust manifold and downpipe etc too. I suspect the 270kg figure above must be including the shipping crate or something. The TDV8 engine probably has an iron block so i'd expect it to be a little heavier than my Audi motor, perhaps 250kg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Volkswagen_Group_diesel_engines That suggests the VAG 1.9TDI comes in at 200kg and the VAG 4.2 V8 TDI comes in at 255kg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I dont believe a TDI can be anywhere near 270kgs. The 270 kg figure in the 200TDI installation manual refers to the 2.5TD being removed, not the 200TDI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 A V8 is always going to be lighter, it's got more holes in it Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
