Iv have my golf gtd in the garage for a year now and have not driven it yet,it was the magistrates decision after I crashed a skoda favorit into a brand new fiat punto totaling both.
At the end of this month I will be free to drive again.
Which is faster a 16v or a 19 turbo diesel?

[Khare]

A 16v by a very long way.

[WeekendMechanic]

So 16v meaning it has 8 pistons right?

[thai-wronghorse]

Nope, 4 pistons like the 8v.

Good torque figures can be had out of the TDI though with some fettling.

You can have 170bhp plus and serious torque from a TDI, bit more than simple fettling but a serious proposition if you are prepared to spend some money

It will make more than a 16v thats for sure but the revs will limit it.

Not an really an issue unless you like screaming down the motorway though.
