Had enough problems 1.9 tdi 105 bhp

[skippy41]

As the title says, I have had more than enough problems with my 1.9 tdi 105 fitted to my 59 plate Skoda superb.
So a question, would a 130 tdi fit as a straight swap, without to much modification, I know the 130 was fitted front to back instead of transversely, but I think everything should connect up , I also think I may require the ecu

Welcome to Pistonheads.

Both transverse and inline variants of the 1.9 130 PS were available.

It would be easier, probably cheaper and significantly less of a headache simply to purchase a car fitted with a 2.0 TDI CR from teh factory.

I agree with Dr G

The 130PS 1.9 TDI is a generation older than the 105PS 1.9 TDI. You're better of going a generation newer to the CR 140PS 2.0 TDI, and swapping cars will be cheaper than swapping engines

So the oil pump has been sorted on the CR units, was it from 2008 they came out???

What's been wrong with your 105?
