So, i know everybody says to buy a landy with a 200tdi or a 300, but why? Other than 'they go forever'?
I have seen a 90 for sale with a 2.5TD. I am wondering what the downsides are to getting this and how easy/costly is it if i later wish to change it for a tdi.
I have a 2.5TD 110 and it's mostly fine most of the time. The lack of grunt is only really noticed when heavily loaded and / or trying to make a quick(er) start from stationary.
Depends what you are going to be using it for at the end of the day to some extent.
I do miss the sound of the TD tho.
Can I jump is and ask how similar they (200tdi and td) sound on tickover?
I have driven a td many times, but the 200tdi I bought (and am slowly doing up) sounds remarkably similar - albeit I have only moved it around the yard!
I know they are based on the same block, but...?
Thanks
Tom
Pretty similar, if they are well set up and tuned most of the sound you hear will be compression knock. Apart from strengthening with ladder frame, and a reworked head and injection system, the engines are pretty much the same.
. Also, being slow off the mark could be frustrating.
Thanks again!
