Time will tell :o

I thought all new shape tdi's were pd engine ??? (don't know about LX's though)

hi guys found out this morning that my 2001 zetec hasnt got the pd engine i gave them the engine chasis number and it confirmed on the printout its not got the pd engine they also told me that if it wasnt on the engine cover then that would also indicate that it would have the pd engine, also someone suggested the log book but its not on there either just 2001 1.9tdi zetec so thanks all

I wouldn't swear to this, but I think I recall some early MK2 90bhp were not PD engines. Alternatively has it had a second hand engine fitted at some time ?

hi no the car hasnt had a second hand engine fitted it has the original engine as i checked with all rellevent paper work ie engine vin and numbers but i would have thought it would tell you in the log book but mine dont so ill will have to look intoit further but my local ford dealer who i know a few mates there did the check for me told me that there was no pdu anywhere on there system to indicate my galaxy has a pd engine without looking at my galaxy as i phoned a mate that worked there, but surely it would tell me someone in the full service history or log book but nothing at all to tell me so we will see thanks also when i got the galaxy they didnt mention it only i think he said it was a 115bhp thanks

 

has anyone got a ford galaxy 1.9tdi zetec that could look on their log book to find out if it tells them about the model pd anywhere on it just to find out on the log book theory cheers

hi mate, as i didnt change the oil fiter i havent looked at that but what does this filter look like and where abouts is it close to thanks masked i did notice a long black tube in front of the engine with an arrow on it?
Posted

the PD oil filter is a paper filter that fits in the housing that sticks up like in the right of this picture:

The non-PD engine has a traditional screw on metal cased cartridge filter that points down at the bottom of the engine in the right of this picture:

hi masked, the oil filter on the first picture next to the dipstick i am sure i have seen this on mine does this unscrew as there is an arrow mark on it cant be sure as my mate did the service on it i didnt see where the oil filter went but im sure when he changed the glow plugs and oil filter it was at the back of the engine real pain as not much room to work as by your pic your glow plugs are in front of the engine i wish mine were lol anyway will check but i am sure i have seen that filter next to the dipstick thanks smoggy

hi, all masked thanks for the pics mate i just phoned my mate and he said it was a paper filter at the front of the engine he changed so it must be a pd engine i would guess thanks alot smoggy

smoggy,

115ps are pd engine; 110 isn't. also, pd engined cars have 6 gears, non-pd engined cars have 5 gears. given what the dealer said, you have a pd engine, i think.
