2.5td or 2.5tdi

[landykev]

This will sound crazy as it does to me
But How do I tell if my Landy is a 2.5td or the 2.5tdi? as it does not say on the V5.
My landy 90 is a G reg 1990

Any help for me (a thick head) please

once again Im a new landy owner and not got a clue

cheers

It will almost certainly be a TD - have a look at the oil filler cap and if it just pulls out (rather than a plastic unscrew jobby) then it is a td. Also if it goes OK then it is a TDi but if it slows to 15mph at the thought of the slightest of incline then its a TD! That year is almost certainly (if original) a TD though, my H reg is a TD.

The "i" stands for injection. All diesels are injection.

The earlier 90s and 110s were just called TD or not.

i didn't feature until a Marketing person realised that it was cool.

Sorry mate, the i stands for intercooler, which the earlier 2.5td did not have

Oh. I sit corrected. Ta. I'm trying really really hard to learn all this Landy stuff, and just when I think I'm getting to 2/10 I have a senior moment.

I rekons every time I learn something new about landrovers it pushes some old stuff out of my brain

I in TDi in VWs stands fer "Injection" - and they patented it but as they couldn't patent the initials, the I in TDI in Landys stands fer Intercooler!

oddie you got your interesting trousers on tonight!

 

[Oddie]

sorry - tis the old man beer i'm drinking..."i think you'll find"

I believe tdi stands for turbocharged direct injection. Easy to let it stand for intercooled if that's what floats yer boat though.

it duz wiv VW but i thort it were diffrent on landys.

 

[Trewey]

much as it pains me to say it...
oddie's right.

 

[Davec]

I agree with Hughsey,till this subject came up a couple of months ago on LZ, I always thought Tdi was Turbo Direct Injection as well, I think VW nicked in from LR.
Is there anyone out there can tell us when VW produced a Direct Injection diesel?

fookernell Trewey, has hell frozen over Gotta be worth keeping that one!!

I got an H reg and its a TDi

 

[Oddie]

I got an H reg and its a TDi

that's the year they changed (or thereabouts!) - my H is originally a TD but now TDI!

If it says Defender on it it's probably a TDI (or has a retro sticket on it) - and if it says Land Rover 90 on the bonnet rather that "Defender" then it's probably a TD, There's lots of subtle differences!

 

[discojamz]

I thought it went td-turbo diesel and Tdi-Turbocharged direct injection.
