1.8 Petrol vs 1.9 D turbo...
#22
Why has no one mentioned hdi? Good time to pick up a nice one for cheap at the moment as everyone seems to be selling them to get bigger and newer cars. Hdi has next to no reliability issues compared to an xud, only things that really go wrong with them engine wise are lift pump and high pressure pump failures, crank pulley and tappy Injectors. No overheating, no headgasket failure every time you boot it for more than 5 minutes etc etc

Stage 1 map with increased torque can easily see over 50 mpg with power to overtake safely when needed



Hdi ftw if a reliable daily is needed, plus all the phase 3 toys which just make it a nicer place to be
Current stable
