  Skoda Octavia vRS TDI (2006-) 19 Jun 2016 (News)
  The significant change came in 2008 when the 2.0 TDI PD engine was replaced with the newer common rail diesel. It’s much more refined and quieter too but the main difference is the power delivery. Whereas the PD engine would lag at low revs, giving you no power before suddenly shoving you forward with a big smack of torque, the common rail unit is more linear.

  Or, if you always obtained your fuel from a single supplier, do you want to pursue the fuel station, which has already denied any water in its fuel? It is possible that if the vehicle was filled with high percentage biofuel (which has a higher water content) and left for a long time unused, then condensation created the water in the fuel.

  Goodwood Festival of Speed: Volkswagen XL1 demonstrations 27 Jun 2013 (News)
