Post by: JPC on January 07, 2009, 03:38:06 pm: diesel partical filter. its like a cat for diesels, to take the particles of soot from the exhaust

Post by: magpie on January 07, 2009, 03:49:47 pm: is it not needed for the MOT
Title: Re: soot machine but which one
Post by: JPC on January 07, 2009, 04:26:03 pm: nope, diesels dont get measured on emissions. just soot particles.

ive taken the "cat" off my diesel anniversary and its been thru about 3 MOTs fine

And I ran a couple of remapped 140 TDI DSG's and also got over 500 miles to a tank with over 185bhp and 300lbft. :happy2:

Even remapped I saw over 60mpg on motorway runs.

Post by: magpie on January 08, 2009, 09:38:29 am: is the 140 quick or should i go for the 170
Title: Re: soot machine but which one
Post by: JPC on January 08, 2009, 09:46:55 am: this is a big debate in the diesel front. a lot say the 170 aint worth the extra. to be honest i dont know what differences in the engine there are between 140 and 170 but i went with the 170.

i did this primarily because ive got a head start with performance mods.

Post by: magpie on January 08, 2009, 10:10:40 am: were did you get your 170 from i have been looking around and can only find the 140 second hand

are you bothered about owning a 5 door? if not theres a well spec'd red 5door for sale.
Title: Re: soot machine but which one
Post by: magpie on January 08, 2009, 10:46:37 am: no im not bothered about 5 door as it might be easier for me with the little man

Post by: JPC on January 08, 2009, 10:57:02 am: well....look at this...its a great buy to be honest.

Shame as the new Common Rail 140 engine as a massive leap over the old TDI. So smooooooooth! :smiley:
