Hello,

As I have been looking for the perfect td4 for so long and keep missing the good ones or they are too pricey, I've seen an xdi with 83k and in very good condition!

How do these compare to the td4?

XDI is a strong reliable engine, rather slow but much better once a synergy is fitted.

both have there problems as cars but there both very good.

XDI will be more economical too

good luck

Your garage.
Your driveway.
Your road.

Its fitted by yourself and if you search here for Synergy that works wonders and throws up loads of info.

The TD4 is smoother and it is possible to change all four glowplugs without disassembling much of the car it seems!

The TD4 retains more value because it's a Beemer engine.

xdi is supposed to rev better ...... but you don't get low end grunt as TD4 has variable vane turbo. XDi tunes well you can easily get around 125-130 bhp synergy,egr,air filter exhaust. Somehave had up to 150 ...... but you need to increase boost for that and fit better intercooler..... good luck....oh yes the L series has a cam belt make sure when it is changed you get all 4 glow plugs replaced as you have to remove fuel pump to do so...
