2.4 diesel turbo

Sonuds like a transit driving down the road

But you need to use the right engine oil

And DMF's are a nightmare

Ive just got one to replace my meg trophy. DMF is the same with any car when they go people complain, many havent gone. Performance is good, not away from the line but once going it is very nippy. First startup they sound like a diesel but soon quiten down. Decent drive (mine is lowered) and I currently get about 49mpg which is 19 more than the meg with not much difference in performance.

Can be remapped quite cheaply as well for buckets load more torque and power, decats are a popular mod which doesnt affect the emmisions come mot time but will allow the engine to rev a bit better.

First diesel I have had, and too be honest it has suprised me

Iv got the 2l tdci mondeo
