Having posted the link to the Piston Heads Shed of the Week last week, I caught up with PH thread again and noticed a couple of links to  Australian articles on the Roomster TDI PD, one mainly tuning. the other general ownership.

Not seen these articles before, thought they might be of interest to all. We are talking Australian articles here and date back to 2011/12.  Also it looks as if the "Autospeed" website has not been updated since, but good articles nevertheless.

 

Most interesting thing I learned was that PD cam belt timing is quite important to how engine will perform. As I am due a cam belt in the next couple of months and I am likely to sort a modest remap soon after this was of interest.

 

Enjoy

Thanks for posting.

Snow chains in Australia  who would have thought?

 

Thanks BOB

Interesting articles. Could relate to some of it, as i had 2008 1.9PD Scout. 

Regarding cambelt, when i had my second one, the guy that did it said, "did you know the timing was a tooth out, its right now." I couldn't believe how much better it ran on the way home.
