Great 1/2 lap and happy owner! I had a 2006 B7 3.0 TDI Quattro s-line in stock trim for 11yrs. My favourite daily driver car of all time! The S-line suspension, big brakes and permanent torsion Quattro made it such a great handling car. I once raced a B6 S4 up a snowy mountain (both cars full) and he only just pulled away on the straights. Then I looked up the specs and the 3.0tdi has more torque than the 4.2 (B6 S4). It also has the same S4 brakes as standard. Great car! Thanks

Like a week earlier I was searching for 3.0tdi b7/b8 Nürburgring laps, but there were hardly any on KZbin. Thank you, Misha, for uploading this, turns out with the right modifications, the 3.0tdi can do great things on the lap!

Whenever I get to sit in my previous car (which is being driven by my dad since he needed a car), the nostalgia is pretty crazy, the car also was slightly upgraded when I had ownership of it - power upgrades, minor suspension upgrades (sway bars to be more specific, was annoyed of body roll)

2.0 TDI are amazing engines, I’ve got one myself a mk6 Golf 2.0 TDI it doesn’t have crazy power but the power to weight ratio is good. It can handle well and makes you feel so confident in bends.

I sometimes thought Misha is shifting a bit too late for a Diesel. In my experience a TDI really is a different accelerating experience: early shifting, using torque from 2500 - 3500, shift again.

Petrol or diesel - it’s about the power. Max power is about 4000 rpm in the diesel. So it’s definitiv the right way to shift slightly above 4000 rpm.
