Guys I am building a h van and some guys have used the afn engine. Can you use the aaz pump on the afn so i dont have to use the ecu. Or should i just go pd as they are so good? Is there a simple way to wire up a pd engine / wiring harness kit?
I have had the Afn in a galaxy and it was great, i have a 130 tdi in my 2004 galaxy and the h van weighs less than it so should be good with either.. Cheers |

Few chaps on here that are into their Mtdis so hang around until one of them appear......
From my limited knowledge/memory i dont think it would work as the IDI doesnt make enough pressure to open the Tdi injectors. Sure i have read a few previous bits n bobs on the net about issues with it. If youre a google king the words you are looking for are Mtdi or M-tdi (term that appears to be used to descibe tdi engines , ditching ecu and running a mechanical pump) and land rover (pump of choice appears to be a land rover 200/300 pump. Threads kicking about with how to change/alter pump bracket to mount the LR pump to tdi block and also how to time pump up/lift. Sorry its vague but ive told you as much as i know/read. Where in the South are you chap? Quite a few H Vans kicking around Exeter area of late.

oh, and if you want to go full Tdi look up a chap called syncroandy (www.syncrosport.com) His looms are a work of art and very very reasonable and he can/will supply a plug and play one to your spec only neeeding 12v/ignition/earth and not much more.
By the time you look into hassle and cost of sourcing/fitting/machining etc for Mtdi , IMHO, i would fit one of andys looms.

I am in surrey. The van is a 55 split screen. If you go looking in France spend the money looking in the South and not on rust repairs! Mine is more solid than a 10 year old french filth traffic i scrapped in 2009! They are just super cool. Buy one now before they hit vw prices!
