Obviously, the diesel engine doesn’t parallel the slap-happy enthusiasm of the GTI’s mill. Nor can it rev as high; the TDI redlines at 4500 rpm. But the oil burner’s punch is smoother and more linear than its petrol-powered equivalent. There’s no slingshot effect. You just woooooosh from 30 to 60 mph without an ounce of effort.
I'm particularly interested in the 1.9 105hp ones because I haven't heard good things about the 16v 2.0 TDI BKD, and the 8v 2.0 BMM I've heard is better but really hard to find for some reason in my area. My main question is, between the 3 different engine codes for the 1.9 105hp (BKC,BXE,BLS) - what are the differences, and which one would you
