AND you pay alot less, TDi Diesels command a premium price :wink:
also VM diesel has problems and is slow, as for conversions I'm not convinced :?

I always thought auto transmissions were less power efficient than manuals.
And what makes TDi's more expensive? They're less powerful. Talking about power, what's the BHP from, say, a 200TDi and a 3.5EFi or 3.9EFi?
I want something that will have some degree of acceleration, possibly 0-60 in 20 seconds? or is that too much? I'm not sure. I dont know paticurarly much.

BHP will be well down from 185bhp with V8 and 115ish from Tdi but diesels has bags of torque. The biggest problem I had with the V8 was fuel consumption followed by difficulty water proofing all the electrics.
I believe the Tdi engines are well sought after because of the number of people retro fitting them to TD models etc. Mine cost £500 and was a steal at that price complete with gear and transfer boxes
