    US Diesel's big splash introduction

    Strange the air cooled bug was famous for the engine seizing in the UK, back then my mate worked in a scrap yard and saw a lot of those, I was a Ford Cortina man back then, he provided a couple of engines from the yard which I later fitted into the Mk1.

    Why wouldn't you own another? I've never had a VW myself, but hold nothing against a company just because they cheated on emissions, or is there another reason.

    Uk 2litre petrol best fuel economy and range

    A turbo petrol or diesel won't struggle on any hill, I haven't driven a NA or fwd car since 1999. If that sort of car uses more fuel then I don't mind as the performance is worth it IMO

    US Diesel's big splash introduction

    How come Aussie doesn't have Euro 6d temp? is that due after Sept 4Th when the WLTP comes into effect? That's why you have more power I believe.

    US Diesel's big splash introduction

    Apart from you getting 190ps and us only 184ps with only 445nm instead of yours with 450nm torque, how is it different? Are you saying the Aussie car has no piss tank, and is it not the latest euro6 version? (euro 6D temp).

    Thinking of buying a CX-5 but I have some questions first

    I thought you couldn't hack models later than 2017? I hacked my 2015 no problem but at the time it was said Mazda had installed safe guards to prevent further mods.?

    2019 CX-5 getting 2.5 Turbo engine??

    Thanks for this, I'm considering a 190ps diesel Tiguan next with 7 gears, and AA. In the UK its known that early dry clutch autos can give problems, while later ones are wet, down side is every few years or 30K? miles transmission oil needs replacing, not cheap.

    What's the point none of them are accurate. Things will change when the WLTP comes in during September. HJ looks at owners fuel figures, I've found them reliable from my experience, also "Whatcar" true MPG.
