Apparently they I ACTUALLY raced a Mk4 Oil Burner against the Mk4 1.8T, and the 1.8T won.  :cool:

I don't believe it, the diesel must have more torque than the petrol. Most petrol heads don’t like to admit that the diesel is faster 0-60 and gets better mileage and the engine is going to last longer.

No competition they just don’t like It up them

LoL - true!

I guess we both the TDI and 1.8T are two great motors, and are infact, among the better points of our cars!

I always wondered why they offered the V5....what was the point of that one?

probably something that all of us derv and petrol alike will agree on: it was only made for that that didn't want to be classed as a boy racer (1.8T) and couldn't afford the V6  :laugh:


I think the actual quote is "it doesnt matter wether you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning"

And youve been watching too much of the fast and the furious.  :smiley: :smiley:

and from the same film (sort of)

you can get a conversion can't you for a few grand

personally i'd have liked a TDI 4 motion like the MK5 got or even the 3.2 TDI from the A4  :cool:

I kid you not, I did win. Plus its not just about the torque.  It depends on many other factors too, not least of which is how you drive etc.  Plus, lets face it, not every car of the production line delivers 150bhp, I would say its probably +/- about 10 to 15% on that.
