American Reacts to Some of the BEST Sounding Diesels in Europe

[@speedyblacksheriff]

The OM606 is the diesel 2JZ basically

Yes, there are some sick builds that deliver well over 600hp with stock internals.

[@jackmagnium6115]

you can in fact swap parts with both engines. and they will fit eachother with minor issues. in fact you can swap an OM606 into the engine bay of a Mk4 supra and use the factory motor mounts(as hot rod garage has proven by shoving a 2jZ into the hood of a mercedes CL500 from 2003)

In terms of on track it would more likely be the M57 or the 1.9 TDI VW engines, where I'm from if you see a 1.9 TDI 3 door Polo you steer well clear of getting completely embarrassed, that and the MK1 Golf, there's always a MK1 faster than you. Doesn't matter what you're running. Here are a couple of MK1's pushing well over 1000hp in a body that weighs 800kgs. And they have a variety of builds

Oh boy, Ian, the tuned diesel culture in Europe is not a rabbit hole, it's a freakin' tunnel! And I'm not even talking about the even crazier diesel drag racing scene!😄 The 1320 YT channel did a video in Santa Pod (UK) last year and the presenter looked so lost amongst the "sea" of unknown (for him) cars and models. As someone who knows about the heavy presence of portuguese drivers in the UK's drag racing scene, I found that video hilarious but entertaining at the same time. 😀

@@AB-C1 you do get that result with just an evry mod though, its not that big of a build. I'm pretty sure every volvo 2.4td has that done to them here in Finland. What comes to the sound of these, its not a big modification to change the muffler, but it is not stock.

[@nielsoudegriep2900]

​@@AB-C1smoke doesnt equal tuning tho, some people have a clean tune that has a lot extra power, but dont smoke

[@AB-C1]

​​@@nielsoudegriep2900I didn't mention ANYTHING about smoke Vs power output, only that more smoke equals usually older engines and probably zero catalyst/more mods rather than closer to stock. The more fuel is being pushed through with an unclean burn the more smoke you'll get especially if there's no filters/catalysts fitted. If anything they're less efficient. But again that's not indicative of overall power/performance, usually more age of engine how much it's been modified from stock/how much extra fuel they're trying to push through that's burning uncleanly will produce black smoke. One of the fastest ones there was the BMW X6 and that had less smoke than many but its a performance engine to begin with, rather than an old Volvo with massive mods loads of fuel and an unclean burn.

The Mercedes OM606 might be one of the most popular, most recognized Diesel-Engines out there. Tuneable to hell, swappable to almost anything. Massively high-revving, for a Diesel-Engine. From way back in those days, when Mercedes used to massively overbuild everything. Pretty sought-after, nowadays, I presume. Buy a W124 300 TDI (which I know you like) and one of those will be in there. There's also an OM605, which is a 5-cylinder Diesel. Which might even be a little more exotic. You can find those in the W124 250 TDI-Models. There's also non-turbo-ones, those would be in the same cars, the 300D (or 250D for the 5-cylinder OM605), the Mercedes C/E-Class W124 (and some S- , and I think also some of the G-Classes) There's tons of videos out there.

My dad has a Range Rover Sport from 2011 which has a V6 diesel. It’s very quiet and very smooth, but it’s also quick. 3.0L, 250hp and 600Nm (442 ft/lb?) of torque which is more than a BMW M3. My dad managed to hit 180km/h (110mph) on the Autobahn. He also has an Alfa Romeo Stelvio diesel. That’s the SUV and it has a 2.0L 4 cylinder with 210hp. Apparently the top speed of that car is 215km/h (133mph), as he found out yet again on the Autobahn.

I've been driving a 24 year-old Peugeot 406 2-liter HDI turbodiesel for 10 years. Pulls like a freight train, never let me down, 1000+ miles on a single tank of diesel!

[@erebostd]

The peugeot diesel are so fricking cool, i loved to drive these when i had the chance. 👍 I even owned one before i went electric (my only ice cars left is a silver mercedes for sunday drives in the summer 😉)

[@AB-C1]

@@erebostd you couldn't pay me enough money drive an electric, to offset the cost, depreciation, inconvenience and danger.. Aside how bad they are for the environment. Your old diesel has far less environmental impact than any electric vehicles now.. you should go back to Ice and save the planet. Never trading my diesel BMW

[@erebostd]

@@AB-C1 you obviously have no clue what you are talking about. Please stop spreading lies and misinformation. I'm sorry that you've fallen for this bullsh#t and never had the chance to drive an EV...

[@niklo322]

Do you really mean 1000+miles or KM? Because 1000miles are about 1600km 😅

[@tygorgrinnem]

@@niklo322 Yes, I 'do' mean 1000+ miles. If you drive it gently, it's 'very' fuel efficient, and it has an 80 liter fuel tank. The 90hp version of this engine has the Guinness record for driving 2400km on a single tank. Mine's the 110hp, and it's 24 years old, but it's still very fuel efficient!

[@TheTexturizer]

Subaru EE20 diesel owner here. They sound amazing with a bit of derestricting.

[@stevechapps]

Love your enthusiasm 👏 that om606 sounds incredible i want one myself now 😂

You might soon be getting Scanias in the US again, Bruce Wilson, another youtuber who has recently become obsessed with Scanias, just ordered a brand new Scania R730 I think it was, he recently posted a series of videos from the factory in Sweden, showing the truck being put together and is getting it imported to the US in collaboration with Scania themselves, they're gonna use it as a "press truck" and bring it to truck shows all around the US... Sounds to me like Scania is gonna try to break back into the US market again....

[@RWL2012]

R770 :)

[@karvavarba2700]

Once here where i live in Finland, I heard in front of me in the trafficlights a bmw 330 or 335 diesel wagon. It mustve been single turbo modded because i heard the turbo spool in to my car sooo damn clearly it was insane.

[@Digital-_-Immigrant_Marv]

I love your enthusiasm bro! I miss having a straight piped diesel car with a turbo whistle. Just made me think I have never owned a petrol car! My Mercedes, Audi and BMW have all been diesel and now the van I have got is also diesel! 🤷‍♂️

[@MrJasperdeKnegt]

A couple of years ago you could've gotten a VW Lupo with a 1,2L 3 cilinder diesel famously named the 3L, because it could do 3L on 100 km, close to 80MPG.

[@Luk4sWorld]

Always great to watch novel reactions to something that is mundane for others like a clash of worlds. Great video! Since you appreciate V12 and Mercs so much, recently videos of old V12 S-Class cars with equal length exhaust headers are popping up. They move like a heavy luxury limousine, but scream like a Pegani Zonda. specifically: a tuner from Japan ("Brilliant Exhaust") is at fault for the recent popularity.

[@dangercoll]

theres a guy called Teemu Peltola who drives a Mercedes c63 estate diesel in drift master, it runs something like 72 PSI, its really cool

[@thfmlymn4498]

Japan had a bunch of interesting diesels. I had a 1990 Nissan Laurel with a RD28 which i did silly things to. Made decent power all the way up to 7200rpm!

[@Mx-Alba]

Why Europeans like diesel engines so much? 1) They're easier to drive. Remember, we mostly have manual transmission cars... A diesel engine is much harder to stall than a petrol one. Just lift the clutch and you're off! 2) They're cheaper to drive. In most European countries, diesel fuel is cheaper than petrol. What's more, diesel cars get better mileage, lower CO2 emissions, and a longer maintenance interval. Diesel cars that I've had... a 2001 Hyundai Satellite SVX 2.5TDI, a 2000 Volvo V40 1.9D Europa (1.9 liter turbo diesel), a 2012 Volvo C30 D2 R-Design (1.6 liter turbo diesel) and a 2016 Volvo V40 D3 Cross-Country (2.0 liter turbo diesel).

[@jacobzimmermann59]

What you say is historically true, but in the past 10-15 years or so Europe massively switched to automatic transmissions as well, unfortunately. Also with the new emissions standards diesel is close to dead, which is a real shame because for some applications it's the ideal engine, like when you tow a trailer or caravan, or for offroading where you need maximum torque at low speed.

[@zerodelay1630]

wdym? diesel is more expensive, diesel cars have special tax, diesel cars are more expensive to repair, diesel emissions are more toxic.

[@Mx-Alba]

@@zerodelay1630 Depends on the country, of course. Indeed, in many countries, diesel cars are taxed more. However, diesel fuel is cheaper and diesel cars have better gas mileage, so there's a break-even point above which it's cheaper to operate a diesel car than a petrol one. Why do you think almost all taxis are diesels? Because they're cheaper to operate at the huge mileage they rack up, and last longer. Also, I wasn't talking about toxic emissions, I was talking about CO2 emissions, and diesel cars do have lower CO2 emissions than equivalent petrol cars.

[@SamFBM]

need to get another volvo but with an actual volvo engine this time ;) not French or Chinese ;)

[@Mx-Alba]

@@SamFBM Those Volvo 5 cylinder engines were amazing. My next car will be a Volvo again... but a Chinese one, an EX30. :D

[@ertebelj]

I have a BMW E91 wagon 330D M57TUD30 engine. Best car i’ve ever owned, dead reliable and such a sporty Daily driver, Which Also does great mileage!

[@Starkiller935]

My dad has a 2006 Audi A6 with the 3.0 V6 TDI that he's owned since new. It's a great engine, more than enough power for regular driving but you can still get decent gas mileage, like around 8l/100km (~30 US mpg). They are also known to reach some incredible mileage but my dad barely drives the car, so it's only done about 250k km (~150k miles) over it's 18 years of life. No problems so far.

[@bleachyberserko4191]

My pal has an e60 5 series 330d, nice exhaust on it, remap, couple of spicy bits... Sounds like it wants to eat the road and pulls like a train. Diesels are sick

[@GTAMADDOG]

I have two BMW 3-series with the BMW M57 engine - I know I'm strange. One is a single turbo with a manual gearbox (a 2004 E46), the other is a bi-turbo with an automatic gearbox (a 2009 E92). I prefer a manual gearbox experience overall, but once really on the move the bi-turbo auto does make me smile when I step on it. If you wanted to check out an interesting partnership and you could look at videos of Nissan Patrols which have had a BMW M57 engine conversion. The Romanians seem to love throwing those down muddy and rutted forest tracks.

[@brunolerchundi09]

You can found OM606 mercedes in the U.S, in the last years w124 and in the w210 e300 (not 300d, those are OM603). Also, the v10 tdi, 1.9 tdi and v6 tdi were sold there. Also some volvo 740 diesel with the Volkswagen d24 as well.

[@LM-oh3vw]

My dad has an Alfa Romeo diesel. It’s the Stelvio, the SUV that is also sold in America, and it’s a 2.0L 4 cylinder with 210hp. It sounds pretty standard. He also has an old Range Rover Sport from 2011 with a 3.0L V6 Diesel, 250hp, and that engine does a great job at being smooth and quiet while also being pretty fast for a 2800kg (6100lbs) car. That’s what happens when you have 600Nm (442

[@J44me]

i have an vauxhall (opel) corsa d 2011 with a 1.7cdti diesel engine which sound phenomenal. you should look at diesel engines in small euro hatchbacks as you get the fiesta option in one

[@gromenhauer7403]

I own a '07 BMW X3 E83 2.0 diesel. Originaly it has 177 HP but with a "small" hybrid turbo and a simple ECU repro, it gives now 281 HP. The best thing is that it drinks only 6.5 l/100 km (about 36 mpg) Diesel cars are very underrated in USA.

[@olelaunus9560]

next to the v12 tdi and v10tdi there is the m50d from bmw witch is a three liter quad turbo inline six

[@bzilla-d4i]

Still have my E46 330d AC Schnitzer since 2005, 6 speed big turbo, 400hp, 1000nm. Sitting on 880000km

[@NoYouAreNotDreaming]

i have a7 3.0 bitdi and its 400hp with 720Nm of torque..that thing pulls like crazy...it goes 0-60 in like 4sec and fuel economy is crazy...like 25-30mpg...you get good from both worlds

[@cabbageplays6710]

Its just my personal favourite, but the Volvo 760 diesel had a very nice sound to it. It just purred.

[@TDT32]

Hi, I am from Portugal and we use the PD130 from vw and the M57 from the 535d/530d E60 you should see some videos
