Finally got my engine swapped from a 2.5 N/A to a 2.5 TDi.... WOW!!
What a difference it makes. A lot quieter than my N/A, and the torque delivery is spot on; exactly where you want it - low down the rev range.
Where I live there is steep hill, after steep hill, so I need the grunt very low down the rev range
Interestingly, i have been driving a 300tdi Discovery whilst mines been off the road - to be honest I wasn't that impressed. Yeh, it's fairly quiet, and very smooth, but I thought the power, and torque delivery was in the wrong place.Unless the turbo was really spinning nothing was really happening.
With the 200, the torque is there on tap, and I cruised UP a steady hill at 65mph
I forgot what that felt like
I have to agree as with many on here, the 200TDi is a brilliant engine.
Just need to fit my power steering box now.
