2.5TD or 200tdi?????????

onelife · Feb 13, 2008

Hi, Sorry for the basic question.

When looking under the bonnet, what's the easiest of telling a 2.5TD and a 200tdi apart?

I know 2.5 engines started with; 19J
is this the same for the 200tdi engines?

Thanks Mark

The oil filler cap on a td is metal with 3 indents and just lifts out, the filler cap on a tdi is completely different and is made of coloured plastic and unscrews - loads of other differences but i think that's the most obvious.

TDI has an intercooler TD doesn't Td looks like a N/A with a turbo stuck on the side, TDi Doesn't

Dun't the tdi have "tdi" on the top? The lovely old 19j don't have anything.

My lovely old 19J has a LORRA LORRA oil on top!
I thought the tdi had like a corrugated plasticy looking cowling on top along its length, or is that just the 300?

Despite being billed as a TDi this is actually a TD - look at the black metal oil filler cap with the three indents in it

whereas this is a tdi (albeit from a disco with turbo in differentl place, the plastic filler cap is easily identifiable with no garden hose coming out of it!)

The most obvious thing is the actual rocker cover.
The TD uses the classic cover that fits many landies, and the TD has a cast iron cylinder head.

The 200 tdi has a flat ridged rocker cover and a aluminium alloy head.
