diesel

Please help me someone My ibiza mk3 1.9 tdi, started making a weird thumping\knocking kind of noise a month back which has know got much worse. Took it to a garage and they said wheel bearings are fine and it might be a drive shaft and that they wernt sure (useless garages). Noise is louder and...

Do the Mk1 Leons (and the Mk4 Golf) TDI's have a diesel particulate filter or was this introduced later as i have heard they need replacing after 100k+ miles and are very expensive. I am looking at high mileage cars so i dont want a nasty shock later on. any help is greatly appreciated.

How long should it usually take a diesel to warm up from cold on a morning The reason i ask is because my golf is currently (infact since i bought it) taken generally twice as long as my LCR to warm up

I had a few questions about the 20VT Sport that I have owned for a few weeks. I have done some searching but not convinced with what I have found. On cold start up the initial noise sounds like a diesel but then goes. I have seen a few threads but not sure if this is normal for the 20VT. I...

Hey everyone, am wondering if someone could help me please. I need to get some engine oil for my Seat Leon 1.9TDi (52 plate) but can't remember which grade I purchased last time. Should it be 15w 40? Can anyone advise or point me in the direction of a reliable source online please? Many...

I currently own a mountune focus st 260, its great fun, however 28 mpg is a little costly. That’s what the trip computer shows after 1500 miles. I’ve been looking at the lean 170 diesel as a replacement. I know the mpg question has been asked many times, however; I’m interested in the real...

Hello there!! I'm having a bit of a resource crisis and have come over here to ask a question. My girlfriend is looking at buying a 54reg Fiat Stilo 1.9tdi. But (apparently) the garage took the car out for a spin and ran it out of diesel. So they have taken it to a garage to sort it out. But...

Hi, Just wondering if these are any good? Really cheap so I am guessing not but just wanted to gauge peoples thoughts? Spoke to a few people at work, one who has something similar on his Golf GT TDI and he says he has had no problems with it and is impressed with the performance and...

I was on my way to work this morning when i went to accelerate i had little power. i struggled to keep to 70mph. when trying to accelerate it felt like there was no turbo, very sluggish. no warning lights came on and there was no smoke. when i got to work i turned the car off and looked under...

im considering either trading in my remapped 06 plate cupra tdi or swapping it for the petrol cupra. Whats ur thoughts on this idea?

I thought I wanted a petrol FR but now I'm not sure. I don't do loads of miles but from what I'm hearing some people prefer the diesel in day to day driving. Maybe its because of the low down kick. I was interested in what someone on here said, that the petrol is too even through the revs so...
