Almost certainly. Diesels have very little clearance volume above the pistons.

Whats the deal with getting a turbo chipped?Seems to be an easy operation,with more power,better mpg,but is there anydown side to doing it?I assume it counts as a modification for insurance purposes?Do these chips actually work? Read more

I have a 2001 VW Golf TDI 150 which I have had chipped up to 180 BHP. Goes like the clappers but if driven sensibly, according to trip computer can return up to 67 mpg!! However accurate the trip computer is I dont know!
It cost £420 but it was money well spent, at least you are getting real power gains for your money as you could spend same amount on exhausts, airfilters etc for very little gain!!

89.9 pence per litre at my local Tesco. Now I kow it has been cheaper in the past, but it was such a surprise to see it under the magic 90 pence that I just had to fill up in case it was a mistake (it was 99.9 ppl just a couple of weeks back).

Hope it stays at this price. Read more

Noticed both last year and this that there seems to be some sort of car transporter service between Holland and some French campsite resorts. Thought at first the poor saps were breakdowns but appeared to occur on same day of each week and vehicles were undamaged and moving under own power. Presumably occupants come by train or air.

Anybody else seen this or know anything about how it works?


Just curious. Read more

I'm taking delivery of a new car next week and it's got a CD + MP3 player. Could someone spare the time to explain how one loads MP3 files into the car player. Thanks

Ah, so it's a function (if that's the right word) of your player. Did a check on mine today (Pioneer) while I was out. Nero has allocated a folder for each CD, ordering them in alphabetical order of title. Each track has a sequential number within the folder and the player plays them in that order. Titles, album title etc can be called up on the display but it's the folder and track number that define the play order, not the title. So, I guess a 'home produced' CD compilation would be treated in the same way.

I'm not sure if your car has an airbag,


Not introduced until 1993, so should be ok.
