I didn't think the 1.9 came out until a few years later - VAG's first TDI was the 5-pot 2.5 litre 115bhp one, used in the Audi 100 in 1991. I think it was 1994 when the 1.9 was first used.

Heheheheh!
Hmmm, but it's more economical than the Citroen. And better built. And not French.
LOL!

I think it stands for the German word for either s**te, silly, or entry level? :)
We were looking at the entry level Octavia estate SDI. Slow, rough, thirstier than the TDI according to the Government overall statistics, but cheap, oh so very cheap.

Do you have to run a pub to drive one?

2,000 bar? Are you *sure*?That's 29,000 psi.

Oh... right... so 'TDI' normally implies the addition of an intercooler on just the one car then.
S'what I thought, but always like to let them have enough rope to 'ang themselves.

And only for a few years at that, too.
Well, kinda, but to be fair it's just a badge, heh... :p

I dunno, someone mentioned that it averaged just under 65mpg on a Land's End to John O'Groats trip. You wouldn't catch my Audi doing that. Maybe close on 50mpg if you were gentle.
I might also be tempted by a Pug 607 in a few years time.

Well, the Honda video referred to in these quarters said 1600 bar for theirs, so why not.
I always thought that DI stood for direct injection, making TDI stand for turbocharged direct injection, with diesel just being implied there, as direct injection petrols normally have some other fancy name (HPI, GDI, SCI or whatever it was that's the d-i petrol in Mondeos), and TD stood for good ole turbodiesel.
Peter
Yes, and more in some cases..
In the PSA HDi, it can reach 32,000psi. Renaults DCi's are slightly lower.
Tim..
Haven't heard about them as yet...
Tim..

Yep.

Fark.
And mechanics used to be scared of 70bar in Citroen suspension hydraulics.
Spot on, they all run at 1500-2000 bar.
Now you have me worried.
s Yes, I know how they work , it's an argument of terminology we're having. And we've already resolved this if you read the thread further on!
Yes, I know that too.
Yes, that too.
Yup, that's the one I was thinking of. It also exceeded the Californian emission regulation *without a cat* fitted.
Yup.
Funky direct injection petrol engines, they sold it in the 406 at least, probably in the Xantia or C5, too.
