• Condition of the engine: Signs of wear after 215,000 km (engine has run approx. 120,000 km long distance) on the camshaft minor - no scoring, all cams smooth, somewhat "polished" in places. The elements had hardly worked their way into the head. The o-rings of the PDEs were still very good, hardly/not worn, as you often see.
• The rebuildWe installed the PDE body mounts in my T5 1.9 AXB 2 days ago - a purely precautionary measure, not a defect. So far, the engine has run a bit (PD-)rough at cold start, but then always clean. Changing all the sealing rings is quick. You have to work very cleanly. Therefore, clean the PD element carefully, the nozzles as well as the bore in the head. The PDE body holder is screwed to the PDE with 2 small countersunk screws. This eliminates the small flat iron and the two original screws. We only tightened the new screws by feel, but with Loctite but secured them with Loctite. The new injector screws for the holder and also the screws of the rocker arm shaft are tightened one after the other and then with torque + angle. Due to the lack of a dial gauge, we set the finger followers by eye (PDE at the lowest point and 180 degrees back).
• Conclusion: The PDE body mounts are top quality, very accurate fit and the installation can be done by mechanics without any problems - time required for the 4-cylinder about 2 hours. I would buy the parts again. They inspire confidence compared to the original brackets. A big compliment to the developers and the whole team!"
