tdi

Hi, Does anyone know about the new S320 CDi L, I am considering buying one but am also very tempted by the A8L 4.2 TDi as it seems to have a much better spec than the Merc (and its about 4k cheaper), both cars I am looking at are 2007 models and LWB. I am sure folk on this site will be a little...

With on/off showers it wasn't the best day for cleaning the car, but I think it scrubs up quite well, considering it's possibly seen more than its fair share of supermarket car parks. The off-side front wing still looks a different shade in the photo, but not to my naked eye. Oh well, I'm not...

Still lovin it!

Hi, saw some posts similar to this but not exactly the same I think. for some time now, not sure how long, the boot door does not lock when the car is locked using the remote. I noticed this because I tried to open the boot last week, it opened and the alarm sounded. I did have the brake light...

Hi all, I have been asked by a retired family friend to sell his car for him following some medical issues. I found the car for him last year having spent months searching for the right one. It is a Silver 2002 (52) Volkswagon Passat, 1.9TDi SE. It has 116k miles on the clock which...

I've got one of these beasts (as in size, not speed:D) for a couple of days and i'm generally surprised. It is reasonably swift, the gearbox utterly fantastic, I don't notice it doing anything and it hides the dieselness of the engine very well indeed. The stereo is absoutely awesome, build...

Aah good, you have somewhere where I can ask this. I've asked on Some Audi Forum & teh internetz but no look so far in finding THE Q7 V12 TDI GEAR RATIOS please. (I'm working on refining a virtual model for a comp driving simulator & ideally need the precise ratios + final drive). Thanks...

Morning Can anyone point me to a t'internet link that gives the start date for "Longlife" variable servicing periods on VW TDI engines? Specifically I am looking at 130 TDI engines - what was the date when the uk models came with the necessary sensors (and so required top quality longlife...

Not MB related but my cousin is selling her MK4 Volkswagon Golf 25th Anniversary edition TDI. Have seen the car many times and is an original example in pristine condition http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330236154687 More Images: Please feel free to...

We've got a 1996 Audi A4 estate with the 110 bhp 1.9 TDi engine. It's done just under 110k miles. Looks like it now needs a recon. (auto) gearbox at £1100 plus VAT :( Obviously the options are (1) scrap/sell the car and buy something else, or (2) get it fixed. Generally the car is OK...

Hey guys. We're looking to add a hatchback to the addition to the family fleet of cars ( not defecting ). The car in question is the Audi A3 Tdi 170bhp. We're on a budget of £18,500 max. Any know of any about, or any certain qualms about them that I should know? Any advice will be appreciated...

paint is good, so is the MPG and the grip, but its not a merc

With getting a bike now and other things the C43's replacememnt I think will be one of these. something economical but at the same time still has some go about it. Does anyone have any experience of them? thanks :)

ICE options in a '55' Golf GT TDI and an '02' W203 with Audio 10 Right folks. I have a few questions for those of you who are technically minded (and those who are not). I have just replaced my Saab 9-3 with a 5 door Golf GT Tdi mark 5. I should get the same economy but it'll be more...

My OH has a 96/P Audi A4 1.9 TDi estate, which we'll be getting rid of soon. Pretty sure it's an SE as it has climate control and wood trim. But ... Parkers lists two versions, one with 110PS and one not (90PS, I assume). Short of a trip to a rolling road / dyno, how do we tell which...

I have posted on www.uk-MKIVs.net, but maybe someone here knows their MkIV Golfs....... I am trying to narrow down which model MKIV Golf for my Girlfriend. I thought a 5dr TDI was the answer (circa 2000 X/Y/W plate). I am a little confused over the power outputs of the engines, when...

My first post in the defector's section - how excting! What a nice pair! W202 in the background not mine this time - one of the neighbours has a double! This is what it's all about: Wheels dirty, but you get an idea of the size of the brakes - somehow they seem...

This is my Father's car, he has owned it from new, it is totally mint for the mileage, no expense has been spared, interior like new as well. I would have bought the car from him as I know the history, but I have the Merc now. This is a fantastic reliable car, never once let him down in over 5...
