2.5N/A or TD?

<< < (3/3)

Dave:
2.5 na is ok for most things but hills boy do they hate hills. Went up  derbyshire the other day in ours nice drive there but nightmare, one hills was 20mph up. Give me tdi any day :wink:

davidlandy:
a good point dave,  if if are playing around an offroad site or greenlaning a na will be just fine, its the roads in between where the motor can be tiring.

before my tdi I had a na , then plopped a td into with power steering, the difference was amazing, I didnt need to drive around with the window open so that i could get the extra leverage on the steering wheel!

I did find thought that the td was more tempramental and ran hotter - also heard of a few people where theyre td engines have given up, but then again some people have ones that seem to last.

wing nut:
my 90 does 70 down hill and slows to about 45-50 up :lol:  :lol:

jimthelandyman:
My TD is fine, although saying that it was rebuilt about 20,000 miles before i bought it so it is still quite fresh.

Dave:
Well turner rebilt this 12,000 miles ago but it still did 20 up that hill.
 Ps was a big hill and on the flat it will do 75. Dont get me wrong i am happy with it but if it had a V8 auto in it i would be a lot more happy :wink:  :D
