2.0L TDI: With or Without Intercooler?

Hi.

The attached images suggest to me that the difference between the 2.0 16V TDI engine with an aluminum intake manifold and the one with a plastic intake manifold is primarily related to shifting performance.

Can anyone comment on this?
Ideally, someone else with a 16V TDI engine could chime in with pictures?

125 KW has a switchable intake manifold.

So, at least the vacuum sensor is also installed on the BMN model, even with the aluminum "drinking tube" (although it doesn't drink that much anymore ).

OK, thank you.

I'm familiar with the SSP, but I haven't seen the sentence "the 125 kW version" used in contrast to "the 103 kW version" before.

So, it should be the case that:

BKD: 16 V with rigid pipe.
BNM, BMR: 16 V with bellows.
Cxxx (the CR): 16V with a throttle body featuring adjustable flaps.

Hi Martin,

The BRE (103kW) also has it.

Best regards, Rainer.

According to this, the BLB and BNA would also be required, but only in conjunction with an automatic transmission.
