I'd disagree with a few points in this vid. One is reliability, I had a 1992 1.8 ford fiesta diesel non turbo. I got 72mpg out of that, and had a 1.3 fiesta petrol with similar power that dud more like 45mpg. Also, the diesel was more reliable with far fewer parts, ie, no electrics to go wrong, as compared with the petrol. As for pollution, my older diesel did smoke abit compared to modern diesels, however that visible smoke is not as bad as modern diesels due to newer ones producing more NOX glasses and finer particles which are what will make you sick. The older one looked worse, but didn't do as much damage to the environment because CO2 was lower than petrol ect, and what you could see was basically just soot powder. Also, the non turbo had far more torque than a turbo version. The engine would go as fast up a steep hill, as it did down the same hill because of that. Turbo tend to go faster down due to bhp more than torque effects. The torque was so strong, that the engine turned at a particular rpm regardless of incline it was going up or down, with only the amount of fuel making a difference. It was abit strange to drive actually for that reason...

meanwhile here in Europe... still some reasons to buy a Diesel. Heres my most important one: Some of the modern sporty gasoline engines have been ruined by ridiculous gearbox configurations. In the latest BMW gasoline inline 4cyl engines, the software will continously force it into ridiculously high gears to save fuel. This makes the engine drone and vibrate, and worst of all you will have to shift like 6 gears down to get some acceleration. Massive lag. So the car delivers as promised, it has the high peak power and acceleration, as well as the low consumption required by the agencies. But in regular daily use it drives badly. Surprisingly, this gets better with less powerful engines, which don't have to bridge such crazy gaps between peak power and consumption. or you get a manual - but there are barely manuals any more these days due to the regulations. So, the diesel engine doesn't have the same problems, it has a low CO2 emission and thats what the EU is all about these days. No need for ridiculous gearbox software. Due to low rpm torque it doesn't shift around annoyingly much all the time. There are some downsides too, but altogether there are still good reasons for a Diesel, at least in Europe. Try it out for yourselves!

I completely disagree with you. I have over 35 years of experience professionally working on diesel engines and most of the negative claims still being made are simply carried over from 25-30 years ago and totally invalid now. One of the biggest destroyers of the fuel quality today, that was not discussed here, is the degraded fuel quality for diesels. We have to add Cetane booster additives due to these components being removed by EPA Regulation. There is no benefit in removing them (no cleaner air, better economy, or longer life of engine) to be had. It does lessen the effectiveness of the engine and all the ridiculous emissions controls on the diesel engine make it (in the USA) like trying to run the engine with a cork in the intake. There are emissions reductions that can be done, most of the stuff on the modern diesel engine are ridiculous as the injections system already did that and the after engine junk just plugs up the performance and increases the fuel consumption. HUMPF!!!
@electrictroy20104 жыл бұрын

James Medina I’ve found that German cars are different across continents; I was speaking in the case of the European ones. I also can’t speak about the petrol engines, I only dealt with 1.9 TDI ones. Had no real problems with them. Sorry to hear about your experience.
@jamesmedina20625 жыл бұрын
Victor Grădinaru First of all, my 2000 Passat was made in Germany at end of 99 and was known as B5. The B5.5 was partially updated. They tried to eliminate the issues in B5. Rear suspension was independent all models. The front end looked a little different. Each year can present slightly different variations but our cars should have been similar. Perhaps yours really reduced the issues present in mine. My aunt had a later Passat B6 or B7with much better audio system and seats. It's a shame companies like VW often did bring in something great like Dynaudio company but not keep them involved. Lately, I have found the Passats' evolution to appear slowed down and the exterior boring. They presented a very long warranty last year but have now taken it away. To me, it shows again VW's lack of consistency. We cannot trust them here. I feel that my car did fail me in reliability and the dealership failed me too. I am disappointed VW never sold Passat with 5 cylinder engine here and that the new GTI sold here does not have dual injection system as in Europe. Perhaps they sell us inferior cars to meet a price point? I don't like the results of always exporting lesser vehicles to USA.
@victor_gradinaru5 жыл бұрын
James Medina Yeah, the company’s evolution isn’t what it should be. In truth, “my” Passat wasn’t really mine, but my employer’s. As such, I had no real experience in fixing it and such, though knowing their low-maintenance policy, I don’t think they did much to it. Also, the only 5-cyl engine I know is on the Bora, our army had a few of those; I don’t know anything about them, as a car. Yeah, indeed, today, VW isn’t what it once used to be. I am most disappointed about the small engine sizes which, albeit do produce quite a bit of power, cannot be compared with their engines from the past (minus the 2.0 TDI PD B-series, I hear that one wasn’t all that great). It’s a shame, really, because I really like VW cars. In fact, I was planning my next car to be a Passat B9 with 2.0 TDI, we’ll see if that remains to be the case.

I’m a diesel technician, from my experiences; diesels are usually better. With the recent uses of DPFs, EGRs, and DEF, emissions are less than 1%. But if your car or truck has a clogged DPF, a light will come on to REGEN. What a REGEN does is super heats the exhaust to clean the DPF, but the emissions during a REGEN the emissions can reach up to 1.5% but it only lasts 15-20 mins.

This may be true in the USA, but here in Europe it's a slightly different ball game due to the taxes and traffic conditions. To give you an example from my country, engines up to 1.7 litre get low taxes, after reaching 1.8 and up to 2.9 the taxes triple. After 3.0 we pay 1 Euro per CC for that engine, so you end up with the so-called "luxury tax" that ends up being at least 3000 Euros per year. The insurrances take into account engine power too. Anything under 100 Horsepower and 1.6 litre get low taxes, everything above that will double the insurrance cost. On top of these taxes, put the environment tax that takes into account your engine pollution rating (Euro 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, you may have heard of it). Get our low incomes compared to the USA and you will choose Diesel engines as they provide more bang for the buck in the long run as they are more economical to run. A comparison is between my ex Ford Focus 1.6 101 horsepower gasoline engine that drank 16 liters of gasoline for every 100 km and my current Ford Fiesta 1.5 75 horsepower diesel engine that consumes only 6.4 liters of diesel for every 100 km. The Focus was Euro 4 and the Fiesta is Euro 5, has a smaller engine but due to the torque is faster in city driving, consumes less, has a cheaper insurance and taxes, so you can see why most of us prefer diesel engines in Europe. By the way, the ratio between gasoline and diesel engines for civilian vehicles in Europe is almost 50-50.

Is not that simple! I think people in North America always dislike Diesel engines sometimes without good reasons. I agree that Diesel has its best application in trucks. But it makes sense also in small cars. I can give you a concrete example from Canada. I had a 2015 VW Jetta 2.0 TDi and a 2017 Nissan Versa Note with a 1.6 gasoline engine. I always record the amount of fuel, the price and the odometer each time I refilled both cars. Here goes the stats for the TDi: 3,198.57 CAD for 3235.1 L and drove 62,300 km so the average consumption is 5.19 L/100km and cost 5.13 CAD/100km. Here goes the stats for the gasoline engine: 1,315.55 CAD for 1197.3 L and drove 15,010 km so the average consumption is 8.13 L/100km and cost 8.92 CAD/100km. We have bought the Nissan after we returned the VW because of the Diesel gate recall so the two cars are used exactly in the same fashion, both have seen summer and winter conditions including using the same winter tires. The gasoline engine profits from Costco reduced prices for gasoline which the VW didn't because in my area Costco doesn't sell Diesel fuel. This specific Nissan gasoline engine uses (versus that specific VW Diesel engine): 57% more fuel volume but only 44% more fuel mass. In terms of energy it uses ~ 44% more energy. In terms of cost it is 74% more expensive to drive (in respect to fuel consumption). It is true that this VW engine was polluting but please note that GM has now the Chevy Cruze with slightly better gas millage than the last Jetta generation and I don't think they would dare lie and play tricks after the VW scandal. Also, yes my Jetta was ~ 5,000 CAD more expensive than the Versa Note (both at the same level of equipment) but that's not true for a much more fair comparison between a Diesel compact and a small hybrid, for example a Chevy Cruze Diesel versus a Toyota Prius. I think Diesel engines find good application in small cars and certainly they are super popular in Europe and other places. Very unfortunately some very stupid decisions in the auto industry have "dirty" the Diesel reputation and resulted in polluting and ill performing products which might have signed the death warrant for this technology ...

Gasoline cars don’t, so gasoline cars just spew microscopic soot into the air! That means diesels are actually cleaner overall (surprise). BTW diesel exhaust used to smell, because of sulfur in the fuel. That is now eliminated in US fuel .

I have to disagree Scotty. Over 10 years driving a gas car, I spent $40,000 in fuel (A zippy, fuel effect Acura Integra)...yes $40k. I then switched to my current Jetta VW Diesel TDI, and I have spent $16,000 over the last 10 years. I think the choice is obvious if price is a concern.

Both mine are 10 year old diesel motors. Honda CRV and Seat Ibiza estate here in UK. Only reason diesel costs more now compared to 10 years ago is the government added more tax to it. They both do about the same MPG compared to equivalent age petrol vehicle. Im sure they both need the oil changed slightly more often. In fact the Seat seems very prone to poor running if the oil is not changed because its recirculating air from inside the engine into the air intake. Seat is on its 3rd DPF pressure sensor.

If you service regulary diesel car it can last for decades. Many problems with modern diesel comes from not changing oil regulary (6000 miles or 10 000 max). DPF clogs, backpresures, thins oil becasue of many unsuccessful regneration with high temps (engine injects more fuel to raise tempeature to burn particels in dpf). To me problem is that manfractures state oil chanege at 20000 miles intervals. Just change oil and flters regulary and use god fuel with additives that are common on almost every gas station and it will outlive every petrol engine car... Sry for my bad english

Here in Spain, I feel, it's rare to see a gasoline car. From what I've experienced I would say maybe as high as 75% of cars are diesel (at least in my area). Diesel here is about 20-30% cheaper than gasoline to buy. I like diesel cars, but not as much as gasoline cars, though I drive a diesel and like it a lot I think it would be more fun to have it in a gasoline version. If I could have the sound and torque from a diesel, but the speed and horsepower from a gasoline engine that would be the best of both worlds for me, fuel economy don't really matter for me.

Very important to warm up a diesel vehicle for a minute in summer and 2 or 3 minutes in winter . Either fit a turbo timer or allow the engine to run for 30 seconds when you reach your destination. The reason is that the turbo vane spins at up to 250,000 RPM under load is if you suddenly switch the engine off the turbo is still spinning it will eventually run the bearings in the turbo housing dry .

I been driving a diesel Jeep Liberty for about 8 years. The engine has been very reliable and gets great fuel milage. Pulling my pop up from southern Pennsylvania to Hilton Head SC then to Ashville NC and back home to Pennsylvania, we used less than $250 in fuel over that 11 day trip. Diesel does cost more in the US now but it was cheaper in the past. The reason repair cast can be so much more on some Diesels is fewer mechanics know these engines. There are also fewer of them meaning parts arent as comman either. Still my diesel gets enough mpg to more then overcome the more expensive fuel. And diesels realy dont polute a lot more than gas engines. Diesels are about 30% more efficient than gasoline so they burn less fuel. They do however have more particle emission than gas but less co2 then gas. The idea that they are dirty comes from seeing more of the exaust but we cant see all the enissions like co2. The other thing diesel is better for is using alternative fuels, you can make bio diesel out of many oils including waste products like fryer oils. Sure you can run a gas engine on ethanol but it takes as much as or more energy to make ethanol than it contains and it obsorbs moisture and is harder to store and transport. Bio diesel also burns cleaner than petro diesel reusing waste products and thats good for the environment.

Plus the fact of new emissions laws basically make diesels clean burning. Only thing you get out of modern engines is nitrogen, carbon dioxide and monoxide, water vapor, and when the DPF regens you get a bit of ash which is harmless unless you stick your face behind the tailpipe and take a big whiff lol.

I own a Volkswagen Passat 1.9 Diesel in europe, my car is 2008 and there is no way in hell that the equivalent petrol engine for my car is going to get even close to the 800 motorway miles I get from a 3/4 ish tank of fuel, lets take a few engine examples to compare: 1.6 Multipoint injection 103BHP BSE engine(old type port fuel injection engine, no turbo) , my friend had one of these engines in a Jetta and it averaged 7.9l/100km, The 1.6FSI 115BHP (Direct injection non turbo) in an EOS yet again smaller car than a Passat still 7.1l/100km driven by a very careful driver, 1.4TSI 122BHP (Turbocharged) in a passat will deliver 6.5l/100km (it will be higher realistically due to the turbo helping the engine along) and then we come to the 1.9TDI which is stated to deliver 5.8l/100km on paper, but I can tell you along with many others that this is often easily lower due to the availability of torque and the gearing of the car itself, I manage to get 4.7km/100km regularly when commuting to work which is about 35 mins or so at speeds of up to about 85 kilometres and then another motorway journey with varying speeds from 60-120km/h for another half an hour before I reach work (which includes sitting on an exit ramp in traffic usually for about 5 minutes, also the air conditioning always runs in my car in order to maintain a functional system), another problem is that as cars get neglected and driven things begin to break as we all know but realistically I think that from my experience diesel seems to be much tougher when neglected and when it is not it will definitely rack up more miles before needing the repairs that a petrol engine will need. but its not even the fuel economy that makes me want to keep this car, I know that will be great anyway, its the fact that its my first car and I absolutely ADORE it, I never want to sell it and if I had to have it scrapped with the current scrappage schemes VW (and many others have here) in order to remove Euro 1-4 cars from the road due to their particulate pollution in years to come I would be devastated, I would even go so far as to say I would fit Adblue injection and various catalysts to my own car if that were an option although maybe Germany's Blue Crude refined into E-Diesel may offer a fighting change for older cars to clean up emissions either way you'll have to pry the keys out of my cold dead hands until such time it will be running for years!

1.9TDI with normal pumps are the best engines in the world in my opinion. They last without maintenance, they do great work and don't fail, when driver cares and changes oil. I totally agree with you. Now every car manufacturer has to tell you about mileage per galoon, but my Audi 2.0D 70HP made 1600km (around 1000 miles) without refuelling and it has 80 liter tank. How much MPG would it be? Maybe around 47, but I bet it's more than most of new extreme technology engines.

In Europe there are a lot of diesel cars, in Germany for example 36 % of all new cars are diesels, but before dieselgate they had more than 50 %, so they lost one third. In Germany diesel is cheaper than gasoline, because it's subsidized by government original to support the transportation industry, but since the 1990s diesel cars got a lot faster because of turbo chargers, and car buyers switched from gasoline to diesel. Fuel price is much higher in Germany than in US, people who buy bigger, heavier cars buy usually diesels because it would be too expensive to run them with gasoline. Since dieselgate diesel is heavy criticized in Europe, because they pollute cities with their nox and all diesel engines pollute much more than they would be allowed to. Resell prizes for diesel cars are falling fast now, specially VW cars with the cheated engines. Almost no private consumer would buy now a new diesel car in Germany, excepted really big heavy cars.
