Here are three souless, mass-produced, tiny lumps of heritage-poor tin hammering around a racetrack like fucking superstars. There are only twelve cylinders in the entire photo! It's no wonder we hated every minute of it. Attachment: IMG_2030.jpg

I tried this(agu engine conversion), can confirm it's a lie. The amount of welding and prop shortening and general fucking about makes it very much not bolt in. That's the reason it was OTR for so long! |

(Mind you, probably as rare as rocking horse shit) No that was actually fitted to this chassis so it works pretty easy (but yes, very rare), the agu is from, like a mk5 golf or Audi S3. Plenty people have done it right enough but I see a lot for sale as part finished projects. I think it's somehow become a myth that it's a piece of piss. |

"There will be stricter limits for emissions from diesel cars with a diesel particulate filter (DPF). A DPF captures and stores exhaust soot to reduce emissions from diesel cars." Phew! Mines so old it doesn't have one. Smoke on! |

Fellow TDi'erer's say it's pointless adding induction kits over the standard air intake on these. Back to using bosch paper filter too from a green cotton one. Was cheaper than the cleaning kit
