Thread: 200tdi tuning

Hey Mate,

Well done. Could you be more specific when you say adjusted the tappets. I am looking to get a bit more power too. I had a 200.

Thanks

i adjusted the tappets to .2 of a mm they were very sloppy, once adjusted it went alot better, i then adjusted the fuel going into it, it was running about 10 psi before now it is running 17-18 it absolutely hammers!!!

Thanks,

I'll check that out. I am not sure how to adjust fuel then measure presure. I will look into it. Learning to do a basic mechanics on the car myself. Enjoying the savings...!!!

Thanks for your input.

There use to be a fabulous post on one of the forums on boosting up the 200 & 300 TDI’s and also adjusting the fuel pump to get best performance. It was quite an extensive post and was all the rage with the 200 &300 owners.

I can’t find it anymore but if someone knows the thread it's well worth a read
