Where Should This Go To?Passat B3 1900Td

Picture might help

Was told this on another forum but there's nowhere to fit it on my car. Here is a pic of my pump




Tried signing to the vw diesel forum but it's not letting me
Thanks anyway

Tried joining the vwdiesel forum but had no joy. Looked on the back of the pump and allover the engine and I can't find an outlet that's free anywhere. The engine was like it is in the picture when I bought it and I have had the car over 6 months and put over 6k on the clock and it runs fine, tried blocking it and if anything the engine revs better unblocked, currently running on 100% veg oil as well.

Would like a little more power if possible for when we get a caravan but I'm not that bothered as you don't buy an old diesel for it'speed

Apparently I have the umwelt diesel engine which was designed by VW to be more inviromently friendly and give better mpg. What I need to do is block that pipe. Here's the full run down on the engine

ECOdiesel Overview

Beginnings
Around 1990, Volkswagen in Germany set out to create an "Umwelt freundlich", or environmentally-friendly diesel engine. In order to save time and money, they decided to modify an existing diesel engine instead of creating a totally new one. So they took the standard VW turbo diesel engine, which had been used in millions of Volkswagens and Audis since 1982, and made some modifications to it in order to clean up its emissions.

With any engine, gas or diesel, one major step in reducing emissions is to add an oxidation catalyst (often called a catalytic convertor). So the major difference between the Umwelt diesel and a regular VW turbo diesel engine is that the Umwelt diesel has a catalyst. But they didn't stop with just adding a "cat." The VW turbo diesel engine has a thing called a "boost enrichment device" attached to the injection pump. Its purpose is to supply extra fuel to the engine when the turbocharger is making a large amount of boost (i.e. full-throttle acceleration, or going up a steep hill). But often the engine can't burn all of this extra fuel, and some of it ends up going out the exhaust pipe.

If this unburnt fuel in the exhaust was allowed to enter the catalyst, it would damage or even destroy the catalyst -- causing VW's efforts at reducing emissions to (quite literally) go up in smoke. So the second modification VW made was to simply remove the boost enrichment device. Of course, this reduces horsepower a little bit, but the turbocharger is still there so the Umwelt diesel is still more powerful than the non-turbocharged VW diesel engine. And the Umwelt diesel's turbocharger has the same maximum boost pressure (9.6 psi above atmospheric pressure) as the regular turbo diesel, so the turbocharger can do the same amount of work; but without the boost enrichment device, there is less fuel reaching the Umwelt diesel engine at full throttle.

These are the two main features that distingiush the Umwelt diesel engine. Otherwise it is pretty much mechanically identical to the regular VW turbo diesel engine. In the real world, these modifications do seem to work very well; in most driving conditions, the Umwelt diesel emits no visible smoke from the exhaust pipe, at least when the engine is warmed up. In fact, it is clean enough that VW was able to sell the Umwelt-powered ECOdiesel in California, a state whose tough emissions regulations prevented VW from selling regular non-Umwelt diesels there since the mid 1980s.

VW's Umwelt diesel engine was actually made in two forms -- a 1.6-liter version and a larger and more powerful 1.9-liter version. However, only the smaller 1.6-liter version was officially called the "ECOdiesel" and sold in the USA. The 1.9-liter version was sold in Canada and Europe in 1993-1997, but never made it to the USA. Conversely, the 1.6-liter ECOdiesel was only sold in the USA, and never made it to Canada or Europe.

From Umwelt to ECOdiesel

Most Americans don't speak German, so VW needed a better name for the Umwelt diesel engine. Going with the "eco" revolution of the early '90s era, with GreenPeace, Earth Day, and global warming receiving lots of publicity, VW decided to call the USA version of the Umwelt diesel the "ECOdiesel". Not "EcoDiesel" or "Eco Diesel"... "ECOdiesel", with this unique form of capitalization appearing in VW literature and on the badge on the back of the car.

Of course an engine is nothing without a car to put it in. So VW decided to put the ECOdiesel in the most popular Volkswagen in America, and in the same car that was also previously sold with diesel and turbo diesel engines... the Jetta. But VW's timing was a bit unfortunate; the Jetta ECOdiesel reached U.S. dealerships in early 1991, at a time when sales of the Jetta/Golf/GTI-series cars were slowing down, as they were due for a re-design, which finally came in 1993. Also, with gas prices remaining relatively cheap during this era, diesel-powered cars were not very popular; in 1991, only eight percent of Jettas had diesel engines, whereas over 50 percent of all VWs sold in 1981 had diesel engines!

Aside from the engine, Jetta ECOdiesels did have a few minor differences from the gas-engine Jetta. Following their tradition, VW did not give the Jetta ECOdiesel a tachometer, but instead a large analog clock to fill up the space in the instrument cluster where the tachometer would have been. Red marks on the speedometer give you a rough guide as to what speeds to shift gears. All Jetta ECOdiesels were sold in the GL trim level, so the car's name officially becomes the "Jetta GL ECOdiesel", as evidenced by the badging on the back of the car. And perhaps to make it more attractive to potential buyers, most (or all?) ECOdiesels were sold "fully loaded", equipped with Option Package Q8, which consisted of air conditioning, a manual sunroof, cruise control, and a six-speaker "Heidelberg" audio system.
ECOdiesel Stats
The Jetta GL ECOdiesel was sold for two "model years", 1991 and 1992. But in both cases it did not enjoy a full 12 months' stay on the showroom floor. The ECOdiesel first arrived in the spring of 1991, and a total of about 750 ECOdiesels were sold in the 1991 model year. All of them were manufactured in VW's home factory in Wolfsburg, Germany, following the tradition of previous diesel-powered Jettas which were also made exclusively in Germany. 1991-model Jetta ECOdiesels were available in a full spectrum of colors, including green, blue, gray, white, red, and black -- all with gray velour seats and black dashboards.

Unfortunately for the ECOdiesel, German production of A2-series Jettas stopped shortly after the 1992 model year began in mid-1991, as the factory was switching over to production of the new A3-series Golfs and Jettas. So, if VW's records are correct, only 47 -- yes, that's forty-seven -- 1992-model Jetta ECOdiesels were made! Although the exact color distribution amongst these 47 cars is unknown, most of them are black, with a few gray ones and a few red ones.

The 1992 ECOdiesel Registry
Since 1992-model ECOdiesels are so rare, I am trying to make a registry to account for all 47 of them. So if you have a 1992 Jetta GL ECOdiesel, or know someone who does, or even see a ECOdiesel around town but don't know who it belongs to, please let me know! Give me a shout at vwecodiesel@yahoo.com with as much information as you can provide about the 1992 ECOdiesel you know of.

You may ask, how do I know it's a 1992 model ECOdiesel? Well, of course you first have to make sure the car you are looking at is an ECOdiesel. The easiest way to do this is to look for the "ECOdiesel" badge on the back, underneath "Jetta GL". Once you know the car is an ECOdiesel, you then have to check the VIN number to see if it is a 1992 model. The VIN number is found on a small plaque on the driver's side of the dashboard, and can be seen through the windshield from the outside. It should be something like this:

WVWRF21G6NW007004

With a steady hand, count to the tenth digit -- in this case, "N". Here it is again with the tenth digit highlighted:

WVWRF21G6NW007004

The "N" is the code for the model year. If you see "M", the car is a 1991 model, but if you see "N", it is a 1992 model. Again, if you do come across a 1992 ECOdiesel, please let me know at vwecodiesel@yahoo.com! And don't forget to write down the car's full VIN number so you can share it with me; the other digits of the VIN number are also important in learning more about the history of that particular car.
