Much improved. At idle, there's some of the telltale noise and vibration. Once moving, the engine is incredibly smooth and doesn't sound...
Yes, that's the oil. I'll be eternally grateful if you find a good source where I can buy it. Thanks!
Hi jayman, thanks for the advice. That dealer is just a 10 minute drive from home so it would be nice if they do carry the oil I need....
Hi jayman, I like the manual much more than the DSG as well. This one also has much better gearing than the manual Wagon I drove last year, 100...
Hi all, I decided to go for a new car. The Prius was a finalist and just narrowly lost out to the Golf TDI because of towing capacity, fun to...
I thought the EPA required DEF intervals to be at least as long as the OCI, so it was mostly an assumption on my part. That's still annoying to...
All diesel cars here have a DPF and EGR. The DPF is for reducing particulates, while urea and EGR are to cut NOx. Using urea means less EGR is...
Wayne does a lot of things that are hard to believe for most people. He has a review blog at 2011 Ford Super Duty Press Launch - CleanMPG Forums...
I don't know Ford that well, but it went something like this: 6.9 was replaced by 7.3 IDI 7.3 IDI replaced by 7.3 IDI turbo 7.3 IDI turbo...
Wayne at CleanMPG just finished a drive in the new 6.7 Powerstroke. 1907 miles and 28mpg while burning B20 with no load. Pretty impressive for a...
It's a Zerostart lower rad hose heater. I generally do one hour of plug-in time for every 10C below freezing. That's enough to let me start...
I guess I'll list my mods too. They're pretty straightforward in comparison. Bosio PP520 injector nozzles: Less soot and more power Aluminum...
If you want a car to compare to the Prius, take a Golf. If you just want to sample the TDI powertrain, Jetta, Golf, or A3 are all more or less equal.
That sounds like a huge waste of fuel for little gain. Use the chart from Ecomodder and my suggestions and you should get what you're after, and...
Bob, you do not need to own the car to make the chart. Use drag models, known gear ratios and engine characteristics and you should be able to...
It's very important to me, and whenever I drive I try to do it in an efficient way. Please don't stereotype us all. Are all Prius owners...
I'm not saying they are inaccurate. Rather, there simply seems to be a lack of information (probably because there's far less TDI members)...
I'm going to comment on the smoke. Audi and Peugeot make their Le Mans racers run without smoking. I wish more competition vehicles would do the...
I was impressed by the 2.0 TDI. It's still noticeable outside, but inside, that thing is very nice. The 3.0 V6 TDI is among the quietest and...
Hi Bob, I do understand the basics of Atkinson cycle, that many hybrids use it, and why it works so well in a PSD hybrid. That's about the extent...
