You claim you are a guy. Now behave like one and learn how to drive.
All diesels smoke under heavy acceleration. Some more, some less, but all of them do smoke.
How do you know your diesel doesn't smoke? You claim you never rev over 3000rpm which means you never floor it, so you cannot know whether your diesel smokes or not.
About as factual as your other clueless rantings.
For factory parts from the dealer that's true. For parts from aftermarket manufacturers usually not. And this number is from one of the aftermarket manufacturers in Germany that offers diesel particle filters.
I think you should have bought a cheap car, as you apparently are unable to afford yours.
I remember you blathering the other day that you were incapable of merging properly into the left lane, so you apparently are a danger for yourself and others.
No, it doesn't. On the contrary, the diesel with its extremely narrow power band often makes it necessary to shift, where the gasoline engine still has 1000rpm to go in the present gear. And if you dont downshift to pbutt you are too low in the rpm range. But as you are so scared of speed and acceleration anyway I buttume you don't pbutt anyway.
That is even slower than molbuttes. My car accelerates from 0-60 in 5 seconds. And there are a lot of cars out there that accelerate even better than mine.
You need a lesson in manners, little miss.
Don't worry, top fuel dragsters accelerate from 0-60 in less than a second and still don't snap their drivers' heads off.
No, you of course prefer playing rolling roadblock. I don't jackrabbit-drive but I prefer having enough power on tap that in case someone tries to accelerate while I am pbutting him or tries to cut me off when I merge in front of him I can just step on it a bit harder and easily get around them.
You can't accelerate quickly with a Jetta and when that little pull is too much for you, try a skateboard.
Speeding sucks 4162On Sun, 17 Apr 2005 19:23:15 -0400, Magnulus What you have heard or not heard is irrelevant. All diesels smoke under heavy acceleration and the VW TDIs are among the worst smokers...
The way you are driving you will very probably be dead before you reach half a million miles, so indeed that won't be a problem for you.
No, it won't. Amusingly VW has a mbuttive problem with diesel engines dying at mileages that even the Golf gasoline engines survive without problems.
Weird, a lot of people I know drive gasoline-engine cars and have far more than 200k miles on them. A guy on the Corvette forum has more than 1 million miles on his LS1 engine (the same one that is in my car) and it still makes good power.
You need to get your facts straight.
