Diesels do love oxygen, that's why, and if I remember correctly, it's still free!!
Fuel? They can do with a little less of, and manage well

Ergo: they need help (poor old things)

and they smell

and they sound 'orrible

You cant beat that lovely sound of a eTDI.

or the sound of MTDI,

Anyway not one petrol could of done our Sunday Yorkshire trip in December.

Ergo: they need help (poor old things)

Funny how that 'help' is self-contained and takes no energy from outside its own system... wasting exhaust energy and having a lower cycle efficiency is not something to shout about

Yes Russel, I live for the day when my workshop resonates to that sound!
Electrics are now sorted, mechanics nearly so but hampered by lack of spare cash.

Hi Doug
I asume you realise by my post that i have my new TDI runing.I still need to neaten up some things around engine then get on with the suspension and brakes to finish.
Cash is now holding me back on the brakes a bit and i need to get 2 special parts manurefactured for the front suspension.

my diesel smells lovely....

What was Mr Baxter saying about people being precious....??

Can't wait til Ferrari go Diesel - they'll smell and sound so much better then. Won't they?

especially when they run on veg...

Looking forward to the day I can install a Scooby *diesel* wasserboxer motor into one of my Syncros, should be awesome.

I love petrols really....

Crecy's, Sabres, that sort of thing... anything ultimate, Oh and the Deltic, now that's a diesel!
