An old Rover from the 70s with a big 3500 V8??

 

[rugrat]

VW polos and golfs ... seen a few today, they were SDI and not TDI ... just wondered what they were.

 

[Dermot]

TDI = Turbo Diesel
SDI = Straight Diesel
Well in VW's etc anyway...

In Rovers SDI's are Turbo I think...

 

[bob]

Straight diesel as dermot says. Those VAG engines dont go too bad either for straight diesels.

check the question.. she asked what an sdi is

 

[rosie]

yeah a 1.9 sdi puts out a bit less bhp than a 1.4 tdi and less torque

 

[iain]

but also in the knowledge that Rugrat is looking a car and advice on what to get

Just puttin my opinions worth in, no need to get the claws out

 

[Cooper]

SDi's are deeead. Sluggish at best in a polo. Absolutely awful in a golf!

 

[subuk]

the only one to buy is a tdi

 

[rugrat]

I know what TDi is, I just wondered what SDI was as I have seen it popping up, thanks for the info

I went to Belfast the other nite in a Straight Diesel VW Caddy to pick up a car I bought off the site... 60MPH was it flat (That takes the piss) and it drunk a full tank of diesel from omagh to belfast and back - ??? Just over 100mile round trip? Like even the V6 cav could of done it on a tenner of petrol at 60mph..
