NAD differences, XUD to DW8

[Orta]

Seem to have read conflicting things about this. Some says there's no difference at all. Some say the dw8 has an ecu...

I'm confused! Reason I'm asking is one of the jobs I'm potentially going for involves a very lengthy commute. Now if the 1.4 hdi was still going I wouldn't have a prob but with that dead I'm looking at cheap solutions and was thinking of giving veg oil a go...

I know everyone will be crying out to get the turbo but performance literally means nothing to me. The drive is 58 miles down the a1. I live 2 minute drive one end and work is two roads over from coming off it so I will only accelerated twice a day. Once joining headed south and once joining headed north.

There's a pretty decent 02 plate dw8 estate (need an estate as well u c) near me hence my interest in the differences and whether they can take a Bosch and run veg just as well as the older 1.9 xud. 

Help appreciated

Mate of mine has a 2000 dw8 with bosch pump as standard... Been running veg for 18mths now

As piggy says. If you have a bosch your sorted if not you can drop an xud directly into it and run veg. Super cheap motoring.

Get yourself a 306 HDI Estate, you say you don't need the performance, but imagine trying to get up to speed as well as the 5th gear pull from 50 on the motorway which you will need, no brainer for me! All the space from the estate, cheap running costs, more mpg than the NAD anyway, and you get to keep your sanity!

Assuming it doesn't have a Bosch... Is there a difference between one for the xud, xudt and dw8? Is there any other mods recommended to run veg beyond this?

The tax on an 02 nad is more than a HDi...

And yes they have an an ECU but are only semi controlled and are still idi so should be ok on veg.

A NAD bosch pump is different as it doesn't have the boost compensator.

So id need to find an nad Bosch? Let me guess... Rocking horse shit?

nope, td pump will work fine

Some have bosch nad pumps, some have Lucas mech pumps, and some are lucas semi ecu (timing / egr control), but whichever, a normal bosch can be fitted no problem....Personally wouldn't bother with veg though, just hassle / issues quite honestly. Will cost so little to run anyway do the right thing and fill it with diesel not gloopy / watery veg oil!

[Orta]

But to summarise a late dw8 will take a Bosch just as good as the older one. Though I assume as there's an ecu you can adjust the fuelling etc like u can on the older ones?

You say you won't wanna accelerate, but you probably will.
You're working like, south of Huntingdon or something right??

The roads get pretty clogged up round there, it's nice to have a bit of poke behind you with all the slowing down and speeding up that go's on - otherwise you'll get cut up by everything from a mini to HGV

Found sum threads on the wider web regarding this. Some are saying I need injectors from a Bosch engine as well as the pump?

Also, anyone know of any guides for fitting an xud9 Bosch to a dw8?

[Orta]

This is a NAD xud Bosch I take it? This be the right bad boy for a dw8?

ideally run bosch injectors with a bosch pump. Though people have run lucus ones without issues.

Thats is a NAD bosch pump, looks like its come off the XUD but should work in theory.
