Krzys Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 After its all said and done it'll still be a diesel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTISmichael Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Ive always been against deisel as its not a drivers engine even tho they have come a long way in terms of power & torque but i need something almost bullet proof with hd mpg. Picking it sat lunchtime should be gd, just dreading not finding a space to park it where im living in worcester, might have to park it in another street or ..... get a push bike...nooooooo! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Yeah but if you're doing a lot of miles it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gel Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I dislike diesel cars but I got to tell you....they're can be brilliant "drivers" cars.........keeping 'em on song for fast twisty roads is actually an art form......once you identify your power band it'll be fun from there on because of all the necessary gear changing....get the rpm or gear wrong though.....and you end up with no oomph what so ever......if that ain't exciting I'll eat my hat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mapping just adds more oomph to that band too rather than extending it. This was certainly the case when I had the Leon FR TDi. Killed the flywheel chasing a 911 on a bendy bit of road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gel Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Catching a 911 or staying with one is no mean feat....brilliant ...I love your style Krzys .....pity the flywheel let go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
