    Aluminium all round very light bright airy cabin what's not to like
  2. The Penguin
    This isn't mine and I've no interest in the sale but its big miles for the little diesel unit, by choice I'd go for a 1.6 with all the toys but this one could go cheaply
  3. The Penguin
    I've always quite fancied an Audi A2, so look them over on eBay regularly what's useful for us to know is that as I write this there is a 1.4 TDI model for sale at close to 250,000 miles Audi A2 2005 Diesel | eBay

    Anyone ever fitted a single wiper kit to a Loop or an Arosa, many years ago these were available to fit into Mk2 Golfs which solved the problem of the left hand sweep in the early cars, when I scrapped my Golf I swapped it to my Mk 2 Sirocco where it was also a perfect fit, sadly that car is gone too but I've always seen the single wiper as a cleaner design and it was quite fashionable to park the wiper in the centre Touring car style.

    cat cleaner in the tank and a 30 mile run before the test
  6. The Penguin
    With a re map and it will embarrass a Lupo GTI
  7. The Penguin
    Seat Arosa 1.4 TDI not Volkswagen Lupo TDI tdi | eBay, low miles should be saved
  8. The Penguin
    Lots of nice modifications, well done, but I'd have started with a TDI rather than the petrol GTI model
  9. The Penguin
    plus there can be considerable contribution of carbon neutral vegetable oils in their production
  10. The Penguin
    They were prompted because of diesel fuel consumption being far lower than that of petrol and the consequent reductions in CO2, these reductions were far more important in terms of climate change than NOX emissions. All the European car manufactures decided to take the pish though.
  11. The Penguin
    these are all still relatively new cars, don't brag about this till they are 20 years old
  12. The Penguin
    Air quality in the 1950's was immensely worse in British cities than it is today, NOx quickly turn into acids that can become smog's but never on the scale of the past.
  13. The Penguin
    this is true either the TDI or the SDI can manage 70mpg if driven gently
  14. The Penguin
    reliability
  15. The Penguin

    1.2TDI potential

    The Penguin replied to Rudis's topic in Tuning

    I would go for the manual gearbox and a remap, a remap on its own might overwhelm the auto box
