V8 or 300Tdi??

James_mac · Jul 3, 2009

Im about to start building myself a new toy (a trayback 90 with all the extras) im going to order the galvanised chassis soon but i can decide what engine to put in it....
300tdi or 4.0L V8

its a tough one...
do i go with the 300tdi because it almost indestructable and runs well in water
or
go for the v8 purely because its sounds amazing and i get over the fact that it dosent like water that much and can be a bit unreliable

any thoughts???

Go for a V8 doozil, that way you can have your cake and eat it!

you will soon tire of the noise of the v8 when you see your bank balance rapidly decreasing with the amount of fuel you will use.

Very true, but is this project going to be a toy or a daily drive? If its your daily drive then go for a tdi. If not then it sounds like you already know the pro and cons so go with your heart. I did and I don't regret it for one second and will never tire of the noise of a V8
