Auto's and diesel

(1/3) > >>

lambert:
The consensus seems to be that auto's work well with big petrol engines. But at what point is an engine too small especially if it is an oil burner given their abundence of torque?

SteveGoodz:
Dunno, but the 2.5l in the Discovery seems to work well with the ZF auto-box.

Mutz:
2.5tdi in Pajero works well with swb & lwb auto.

graham:
Nissan Navara 2.5 diesel works well with auto so does my wifes Pug 206 petrol.

I agree, My sister has on and I've driven a couple of others.  The engine revs a bit more as you'd expect but if anything that makes it last longer as it's never slugging away.

As with any auto, expect higher fuel consumption, but I think the size of the car plus the size of the engine decides whether an auto box works or not.
