what a gr8 bargain you have got......it is dirt cheap... how many miles has this engine done..and what is the mileage of your car....
engine knock further increased... well.. there must be a way out to decrease engine knock...if your diesel pump is faulty..that would really add to the knock...as it is the culprit in engine noise.. well we need to figure out a way to reduce fiat engine knock.. it might be very hard.. but there must be a way out of this... might include sum modification...i will try to come up with sumthing..it might not be practical though..
what is the condition of the new diesel pump.. i will also talk to saleem sb about the knock.... the headgasket is another major factor in the engine sound...recently i imported a headgasket rom uk for a pug 205 1.8 diesel... it was ordinary looking.. but when the engine was cranked the first time after an overheaul... the sound was soimpressive that the mechanic got very excited about that headgasket...
it was made by a company called powerTrain... i am on the hunt for more headgaskets for pug 205 rom UK...may be sumthign like that can help the unos engien as well..
tonight while comming back from office at 10:30 i made a vdo of my car going from 60 to 130 in 4th gear... and 60 to 120 came in 20 seconds in 4th gear...i have to review ur uno too...i will send u the vdo.. rather i would upload in the vdo section...
one more thing that clicked me...i was reviewing a technical info with was lying with me for years...that had the gear ratio of the gearbox that the gti version and this GLD version share... its the BE/3 gearbox that was introduced which had the reverse gear below the 5th gear...earlier gearbox had different ratios..and had he reverse in the vw style...next to 1st gear...
the thing which surprised me that the top speed i have achieved is 170kmph... where as the 5th gear gives around 96mph at 5000 rpm.. whichis like 150kmph...
and the respective top speed of each gear is quite above what the gearbox would do at 5000rpm...
is this possible that the engine revs quite easily till 5700 or 5800 rpm or even more...
the 5th gear gives around 30 kmph per 1000 rpm..
this 1769 cc XUD7 engine is a 60 bhp engine..but i havent been able to get the torque figures of this engine..but i have certainly found out that the maximum torque is delivered sumwhere between 2000-2200 rpm..coz i dont feel the jerk of the airconditioning if the engine is revving aroudn that mark..
what about uns hp and torque and gear ratios...
