well if you look at the torque curves... it seems logical. any motor loses torque at redline and diesel motors have more torque at lower rpm's... the guy just sounds like an idiot lol

 

yea, he fails.

 

What VW are we talking here, 2.0L TDI or a 1.6L diesel? You have to be talking about the 2006+ 2.0L TDI. It's the only VW I4 diesel that will beat the 94+ I4 Honda VTEC easily. It has 295 lb-ft of tq. That's like comparing the C32B to the VR6.

 

I hate doing oil change on them. Period! F*ck skid plates! Thank god, all Hondas are easier to do.

 

VW is just a pain to work on,
i hope i never have a girlfriend that drives a VW that IS NOT a VW tuner and doesnt know crap about it, i'd be kinda obligated to work on it and end up breaking **** and losing a finger in the process

 

A lot of diesel engines can produce more torque at idle-1500RPM than an H22's peak torque, but that guy was exaggerating.


Limited edition 2.3L V6 NSX?

 

If not for Honda, VW/Audi and Toyota/Lexus/Scion would probably be the easiest cars on the planet to work on.

Remove a big plastic cover on a VW and there's the engine, ready to work on.

Removing the front clip (radiator support, radiator, condenser, headlights, power steering cooler, bumper, etc.) on an Audi literally takes 20-30 minutes and 75% of the engine is exposed.


They really are simple to work on, you just have to know how to free up space to work on them.

 

my mom has a bug and its a PITA to change a headlight bulb in. you have to remove the headlight. it supposed to "slide right out" riiiiiiight... my girlfriend wanted to buy a bug, thank god i talked her out of it, a toyota corolla is so much nicer to work on
