Up for sale is my recently acquired Tata 4x4 Tdi, it's a 2.0 xud based engine with Bosch pump. It starts, stops and drives. It's a bit shit...

It has 5 months mot

I would rather get my ranger fixed which needs a new head gasket.

 

£500

Are these xud based; I thought they were based in the Indenor or something?

[jonathan_dyane]

No, its a stretched XUD.

[somewhatfoolish]

The well known and irrefutably accurate* Wikipedia suggests it's a facsimile of a much older pug dizzler, the XD88, as fitted to 404 etc.

[Talbot]

They're an odd capacity XUD. I remember reading an article about these when they were new and being interested as this is one of only two longitudinal installations of the XUD. I *think* it was the same bore as a 1905cc, but with a longer stroke crank for more torquage.

 

I'd love it. Anyone want a Discovery 2 with a slipping clutch?

Nowt to do with the XUD

Are you sure? Do you think an xud head would fit onto the tata bottom end?

Look carefully at the cambet covers, the injection pump location, the alternator location and the interestingly routed top raidiator hose to get all the way to the "wrong" end of the engine.

 

Still not sure... check out the starter location, the dipstick and oil seperator.

 

It's a fettled and generally arsed-about with XUD.

[Lacquer Peel]

The diesel pump and alternator location are similar to GM, Renault, and VW 4 cyl diesels.

 

I don't doubt that it's inspired on some level by the XUD as many passenger car diesels were post-1982 but I bet it shares no parts at all. It is not an XUD.

 

Not that it matters, GLWTS.

[Yoss]

Well I'm glad that's all cleared up.

[Talbot]

The block and head castings are the same.  Machining is different, and the cam cover is a different shape, but in the same way a 1769cc XUD and a 2088cc XUD are not the same engine but are part of the same family, this is part of that same family of engines.  Which does matter, as it means that things like starter motors, alternators, water pump, cam belt, tensioners and other ancilliary devices are interchangeable with other XUD series engines.

Exciting* new thread started on this subject

[New POD]

Swop for broken PS2 ? and some games ?

[Talbot]

Did this sell in the end? If it's still knocking about I could be tempted.

[dieselnutjob]

I always thought that they were an XUD built under license in India.  Look at the cambelt cover. Pure XUD.

This wasn't the only RWD installation of the XUD, there was also the LDV Pilot and the FSO Polonez.

 

The Indenor was fitted to the Mahindra jeeps.

Peugeot XD88 as fitted to thhr Peugeot 404

[paulplom]

That is properly awful. I love it. GLWTS.

[djoptix]

Splendid. Out of interest, what's the towing weight?

 

Edit - a bit of googling suggests "lots" - even more splendid. You can put A TON in the back! That's quite a bit of firewood.

It might be inspired by the XUD but they don't appear to share many if any parts, there's a thread to discuss this important* topic.

It's still here, I haven't really been trying to hard to sell it because it's a useful thing to have and I still haven't done anything about fixing my ranger.

Here's some more photos.

XUD engine in these you know, etc

[wuvvum]

Have you got any interior pics?  Does it have the hazard switch that looks like a strawberry Tic Tac?

Wait so this is an XUD-ish veg burning drift truck in essence? Hmm.
