Yes all diesels are bad you got it. They pump out more emissions therefore they actually had to lower compression ratio (the only thing a diesel is good in) to be able to reach nxo levels. Diesel engines are heavier and more costly and compared to modern Petrol engines around 110-150hp not even more efficient. The 1,5tsi from Volkswagen producing 150hp and 250nm takes around 4l/100km the diesel engines with 150hp and 360nm needs as much so there's your savings.
@@leocompany I own both cars (Skoda Karoq 1.5 TSI and Skoda Yeti 2.0 TDI, both 150hp) - 1.5 TSI for me is ~5.5 l/100km highway and ~8.5 city, while diesel is ~5 highway and just 6.5 city, so in city driving there is still a lot of difference.
@@leocompany No they are not all bad, modern Diesels actually run quite clean, to the point of being hard to measure, with some equipment. My daily driver, which is a diesel is even registered as a "miljöbil" or (environmentally friendly car), as it has a powertrain that was one of the first with Urea injection (wet DPF). The engine in my daily driver even runs so clean that you can pass emissions test with a DPF -delete. People like you don't even understand the fundamentals of combustion engines, the difference between Petrol and Diesel, how / what the emission systems in cars do or exactly what Volkswagen did to cheat.
A VW Sharan 2.0tdi/ 140ps , (like mine) have approx 8l/100km The Petrol one with 150ps, have approx 10l/ 100km!!! Where is your information that the petrol one have the same consumption? An wich model?@@leocompany
@@leocompany All diesels have potential to be good in them. All they need is removal of DPF, EGR, and a good ECU remap to make them achieve their optimal state.
Two of my three cars are diesels with manual transmissions; I still dream of a turbodiesel V8 station wagon with a manual transmission... that would be my ultimate dream vehicle.
If you want that really bad, there is only one option (there might be some swaps but the 420 CDI never made it into the S211 from factory): The Porsche Panamera II Diesel Sport Tourismo, but there was no manual available 🥲.
@@b3notafraid960love a pd130 and done plenty with them but the m57 om606 that doesn’t even get a mention are in a totally different league. Fact my old e61 535d with a map and intercooler KEPT UP (key wording) with most modern sports cars 20 years later is phenomenal . No pd130 is keeping up with modern sports car without heavy modification and I still got humbled with 380bhp and 700+nm many a time in my e61 from newer cars
Best thing is they originally had no transmission for it. It had too much torque. Only the Veyron transmission would’ve been able to take it. Then 2 years later they limited the output to 1000Nm instead if the 1150 to 1200Nm to be able to put it into the Q7.
I feel you bro, same here: 3,2L R6 turbo diesel. But I have driven a friends CLS 63 AMG with the M156 6,3L V8 N/A brooo this thing feels like heaven because it has always torque and you can accelerate at 1000rpm just like a diesel and have no turbo lag haha
I totally get that, and the moderate acceleration sound of a inline 6 diesel is just something else, it feels so rich and powerful the way it just purrs along. Really great
@@max479 I used to own an e63 with the m156, wrote it off but looking towards a 535d or 355d with the m57. With slight building this engine is capable of 1300nm which is over DOUBLE that of my old e63
Totally agree, I got a Volvo XC70 with the D5, it is an absolute joy to drive, especially with the manual. You just step on the gas, and once the turbo kicks in, you are flying.
I have an f31 330d. It’s actually really quick with the newer transmission. With just a chip tune you can get it to 320 hp and it will push 280 km/h and a 4.6 seconds 0-100. Had an older manual Diesel BMW before and while it was fun (N47 2.0 engine) the acceleration is just not in the same league.
Rough and noisy? An inline 6 or V8 diesel sounds like a symphony to me ears. I don't get how (car) people can dislike this powerful and growling sound ❤
@@diecksl It's not only the sound, but the smell and the harm it does to your lungs, especially to children in urban areas, who's bodies are still in development.
@@Jamez1093 First, just because it didn't happen to you it doesn't mean that it didn't happen to others. Second, I'm talking about the generation born after 2000, who truly spent their childhood in the cities (polluted cities) where many diesels were in circulation, like Bucharest. Here, 1 in 10 children born after 2000 have asthma or some other respiratory problems. So give me a break. Your experience is not relevant.
You skipped 20 years of diesel history, missing on the very weaknesses Diesel engines had back in those times. The common rail is an Italian tech and revolutionised the stats of such engines. Don't forget it.
@@rainbowwarrior2635 I'm talking about the patent. It happened that Fiat was transitioning from being an innovative company, to the mediocre bs we know of today. The technology was indeed made suitable for a car by FIAT, but later they sold the patent to Mercedes, which was at that time a R&D powerhouse. Italians are great inventors, but not great pursuers
@@marco.castiglia I don't like, that people forget how much we should thanks for the italian geniuses. I love that, you guys there are brings the passion into everything! That's why our 3/3 cars are italian :) My father's first car- love was a Fiat 127 with some Abarth accessories. We had some german, french, japanese cars, but always get back to what we love.. :) how sad, that todays politics/market is not thinking about the history or the prestige of any brand. They ruin every big name, and the italian brands are dying (ok Stellantis is still got some news, but not like the older era). Watching the agony is heart breaking for me.
@@marco.castiglia I worked in Magneti Marelli. It was not sold to Mercedes, but to Bosch, with the condition not to give it to VW initially - that is why they had the Pumpe-Dusen. Corridor rumors said that FIAT was bribed by Bosch, that if they did not get the patent, they will stop providing FIAT with Bosch equipment. FIAT gave in.
Amazing, I'm from India, we have weird vehicle scrappage policy here in the capital region, a diesel car has to be mandatorily scrapped after 10 years of registration, luckily, i transferred my registration to my hometown where this policy doesnt exist. I drive a Fiat Linea 1.3 Diesel, remapped, makes about 115hp/250Nm, and the fuel economy is terrific, 4-5L/100kms on the highways, also this engine from fiat is the National engine of India that powered over 24 cars from different manufacturers like Opel, Chevrolet, Suzuki, Tata, etc.
@@utkarshjha5255 I live in Delhi itself man, just that I have transferred the car to Uttarakhand in my hometown, no such rule here so I can keep the car as long as it is deemed fit to drive and complies, I still have a 1973 1100D road legal and running in my family, similarly another Mahindra MM540 1983 that is still road legal here. TBH, NCR NGT ruling is a big scam to force people to buy new cars.
I own a 330cd E46 with factory six speed manual. BMW first ever diesel coupe and in my opinion their best ever attempt at one too. Currently sitting on 215k miles and being used daily. Absolute power house of an engine and still going strong after 20 years.
The only wrong thing people do with diesel is to use them for short trips. Diesel only works if it is used at constant load and at operating temperature. Only then, emissions are kept under control. So no hard accelerations and city driving, but for constant cruise at 130km/h.
2013 Audi A5 B8.5 quattro 3.0 TDI. 245 hp stock, just under 6 seconds 0-60 and with a remap alone can reach 300 hp. All that while doing over 50 MPG (UK) on highways, over 35 in town and under 300 GBP per year in tax.
I’ve owned a 2008 BMW E60 535d for a few years. Removed the DPF, remapped the car to run without it, blanked the EGR and removed the swirl flaps… not only was I impressed with the performance gains but also returning an extra 10mpg… I drive on a mixture of roads and the car returns 40mpg. Best all round car I’ve owned! Passengers are always impressed when I take them out in the car… it will be staying with me for as long as possible.
They were, once. These days they are only worth if u do alot of highway, I drive 100% city (since I have 10 minutes with car to work) only with stop and go bumper to bumper traffic. Had 3 diesels and they all had incredibly good fuel economy, but new diesels have DPF,adblue and the engine gets clogged if its not driven alot. For an example when dpf starts working when car is stationary u cant shut it down, and it can only do that cycle 3 times and then it automatically shuts off the engine u cant start it until u get it into dealership (its done as a safety measure to the engine.).Obviously that isnt a problem for someone who does tons of traveling on highway, but for a city car its death. If your dpf happens to break, and its just a question of when, not if, the price of a new one is 4000€, that is more money than I lose on the fuel difference between a petrol and diesel. My Skoda octavia 1.6 diesel did 7-8L/100kmh, while my bmw 1.5L petrol does 9-10. (Once again I dont do highway or out of city driving, its just strictly city). When diesels didnt have all that extra stuff added to them they were insane value because fuel was also cheap and car consumed nothing, but these days its not worth it anymore.
@@Omgiamsotriggered yeah if u drive 100% short distances and only in traffic then diesels are not good. But i drive 100% of the time in city, most of the time in traffic, but once few times a week I drive when the traffic is not dense and I gas my car a bit much for fun. Never had to repair dpf, or anything like that. 190k kilometers and my 1.6 Civic refuses to be broken.
@@wesol4072 What year is your Civic? Japanese cars generally also tend to be better on reliability, I know tons of people who werent so lucky with germans,italins or french cars. My skoda octavia 1.6 tdi was 2014 and also had no issues with dpf in city, however all the newer ones do HAVE because of way stricter and stricter emission and you will kill your engine if you do city only. I am from croatia and everyone drove and swore in diesels here and 1.9 tdi was a cult engine, but many of my friends bought newer generations and it bit them in the end in service costs. I did like diesels at one point of my life however all the new ones they are throwing so many parts into the engines to pass the emissions and I just dont find it being a good value anymore, all that stuff is gonna eventually break and its expensive, while petrol has none of that and only usually is in the 2-3 liters per 100km difference, which is what 20-30€ difference for me on the monthly budget. Petrol hybrids and even some diesel hybrids are good value for strict city driving however their huge starting price just cant be justified for me cuz all the price saving on gas isnt really saved when u already pay that by paying a higher starting price and resale value is horrendous because of expensive batteries.
I drive 24 miles to work and home everyday, 16 miles of it is motorway. 2013 Audi 2.0 TDI, never problem with dpf, 149,000 miles. Change oil every year.
I own an E82 BMW 123d with the twin turbocharged N47. Making 204bhp standard, it was actually the first production diesel engine to produce more than 100hp per litre!
With especially a shout out to the workhorse diesels being the 2.0HDI from PSA, 1.9 JTD from Fiat and the 1.9 TDI from VW that are all absolutely fantastic in their own right 👌🏼
1.9 TDI was developed by Audi... VW engineers were actually big opponents of the early TDI engines... If Audi wouldn't have been in VAG, they would've risen to the size VW has now
@@batuhandemirel8402 diesel runs everything because its the most efficient and reliable engine. Very high mpg, torque and you could turn any oil into diesel fuel. Almost Nothing that meant to make the world go round is electric.
I'm always surprised with youtubers going straight into the video without intro, that's great ! But this guy took it even further and has no OUTRO lol just straight up cuts the video off
old diesels: Only oil changes, everything original 20y.o., glowplugs not working 😈 (starts everytime, 5 cranks at most) new diesels: My adblue system is not working, im not gonna start in 1000km 😛🤣 (needs new nox sensors for 1000euros + coding)
Yes. Absolutely that. My daily driver is a T4 with the 88hp 5-cyl TDI (The good one, with VP37 Rotary Pump). 25 years old, engine has never been opened. All 5 glow plugs were dead and i only noticed when testing the old ones after changing them this year. Still startet at -13°C without glow plugs and a slight air leak in the fuel system (bi-metal valve on the Diesel filter). No oil or coolant consumption.. and until 9 years ago it was a company van, always got beaten, grandpa filled it up with gas at some point. Still purrs... and knocks along just fine. EGR and MAF-sensor got deleted 2 years ago. Every oil change gets filtered and goes into the tank. Gives ~100km, engine cranks a little bit longer but runs quieter.
@@labibahasan8302 Well it depends how its done i guess. But still i doubt that u will pass emission test in europe on newer diesels with removed dpf or egr, because there very little window where values should be. Also those things are very implemented in ecu nowdays and if sensors dont get the right values from pressure sensors etc. I doubt it will have good effect for engine operation. Im mercedes ex technician and some customers had decoded adblue and cars runned fine. But im not sure what is long term effect for dpf filter with adblue disabled. I would personally rather get new petrol engine car rather than diesel. The maintenance and parts for diesels engines are crazy expensive.
@@0123-v1o yeah i feel you 😅 I have old golf MK4 1.9tdi agr. I got it from my dad. So its in family for over 15 years. Oil, filters, brakes, suspension parts and battery. Only thing i changed on engine are vacuum lines causs they were droling after touching 😂 but even with those car runned fine. It cranks little longer, but starts everytime. I think starter is weak, it cranks very slow and rotary pumps dont like that. My dad and i are still amazed see it going after so much poor maintnance and abuse 😀
@@firsttodie7013 Ah yes, those are also very good :D I actually had to use the old vacuum lines from my t4 to fix the ones in dads t5 (2007 1.9 PD) because they where all rotten an constantly going into limp mode 😂 Your golf should still have the "dumb" ECU (MSA12 me thinks). To disable EGR, simply get another gasket and roughly cut out a piece of sheet metal (Stainless) to block off the flange where the EGR pipe goes into the Valve. You can also disconnect the vacuum hose to the valve (and block it off) but mine startet "mooing" when i did this. No problem with the blind plate tho. Other than that, replace diesel filter and the little bi-metal return valve on the filter housing, give it some new nozzles (dont have to change the entire injectors) and it will run for many years.
The first fastest diesel I came across was the Peugeot 306 and yes PSA (now Stellantis) knew how to do diesels very well back then- in fact prior to a particular piece of emissions legislation, they did the smoothest diesel engine too, without the need for hydraulic mounts.
My BMW E60 535D was so good, tuned to 440hp and 940nm. It was a rocket and fuel effecient. 900km on 65L in city, 1300km on highway 130 km/h. M57 for life!
I have a Volvo v70 with D5 diesel engine 407k km and starts every...fucking...time also have a chevy van with 6.2 v8 diesel engine. the roar of diesel v8 is AMAZING!
I am amazed at 2nd gen Cayennes with the 3.0l Diesel. Gotten 40mpg on the highway and 32mph around town. The performance is very good. Although 0-60mph in 7.8s seems slow when you feel how it pulls, then you're amazed.
N57 owner here (improved M57) my 330D E92 gen runs 300hp reliably whilst getting me 35UKmpg average (gunning it alot) and can easily get me 50+UKmgp on motorway journeys. shame about the noise lol thats all i miss from petrol
@@trashchannel8967 in north/east europe those are very common and easy to find. america has 90s/00s civic. we have same era golfs and audis in abundance.
Still driving E60 535d. Still enjoying every kilometer. It's insane how you can do 7L/100KM yet beat some AMGs or other high performance vehicles in a 100-200 run.
I own a OM642 W166 ML350 2014 ML350... Most amazing car I've ever owned. Great power, drives and handles so smooth and nimble for such a big car. Has over 420,000 kms and never an issue with the engine thus far, only had to replace suspension components at 400,000 kms and everything was stock from factory! Incredible how well these cars are built from 2014-15
M57 goat. Best diesel ever, period! Especially earlier ones with iron block. Such a beast. Milion kms without any bigger problems, with good fuel economy and great pefrormances.
I own a V10 Touareg that manages 11l/100km on average with mainly city and country roads which is a great consumption. It's also only sitting at 210.000km, so a lot to go. My 2003 RS6 uses 13l/100km, which is also quite good. The Audi A8 3.3TDI I have used only 8l/100km, which is also great for a car of that size luxury and age. What's killing Diesels are emission regulations, which make little sense and greatly reduce reliability. Euro4 Diesels are sufficiently clean, as many institutions have shown with their measurements. During Covid, the emission readings in our cities were the same or went up, although noone was driving their cars.
I bought a Skoda Octavia mk2 with a BKD 16v 2.0 tdi a few years ago, standard they're 140hp. But after a visit to Darkside, it came back with just shy of 300hp/470lbft. That was the funnest diesel I've owned, would surprise quite a few unsuspecting people
@vojtechadame5860 Agreed, bit of a lemon with the porous heads and the funky oil pump in the sump. Both of which had been corrected on mine at the time. Zero issues after that.
the OM608 is a 1.5L 4 cylinder diesel from Renault. what you mean is the OM628, sadly quite problematic when it comes to reliability and really not that powerful and torquey compared to what BMW, VW and Audi had in their competing cars of the time, all of which made at the very least 40nm more, with audis 4.0 TDI being nearly 100nm up from it and the Phaetons V10 making a massive 200nm more than the S400 of the time, but still a very nice engine to drive.
Best diesel car I owned was a 2015 Hyundai Accent hatchback. 1.6 litre, 126hp and 264nm of torque. Gets more than 65mpg. It was torque-qy and peppy along with its DCT for a car that weighs just less than 1 ton, 0-60 was less than 7 seconds. It would leave Civics and Mazda 3's and the ford focus in the dust while sipping diesel. The engine was also very quiet and smooth too. I would use less than $10-15 worth of fuel every week for that car while going to work everyday. Too bad it was lost during a flood, insurance totalled it. Only major issue I had was replacing the AC compressor
I love the N22A1 in my Accord. 2.2L diesel, 140BHP, 340Nm of torque. Extremely economical but pulls hard when you need it to. It's the perfect compromise for someone who mostly drives long motorway routes
Talking about diesels in MB and VAG groups you should mention OM606 which is considered one of the most bulletproof engines of all time and has a titile of diesel's 2jz (a lot of 500+hp builds in eu), from VAG you have 1.9 sdi which is slow as fuck, but can run on burnt oil and cooking oil for 500kkm without a hesitation, and glorious 3.0 tdi v6 which can have 326hp STOCK and still make 8.5l/100km with quattro and automatic gearbox
I own a 2014 BMW 535d Xdrive US model with few bolt ons, slightly over 400hp and 600 torque. Best ive ran is 7.98 1/8th and 12.5 1/4 mile. Down the road I want to get to 500hp mark. I still get over 30mpg of daily driving and it’s reliable!
I own an "Alfa Romeo 159 sportwagon 1.9 JTD 150 hp" the car is unstoppable like all diesels from that era. Big respect for: Peugeot: Hdi Volkswagen: Tdi Renault: Dci Mercedes: Om Fiat: Jtd
Great video. But, Peugeot produced some amazing diesel engines back in the day. My 2007 Mondeo has a 2.0 TDCi, a DW10 engine, and it's beautiful in terms of how smooth it is, and the power output. Thankfully being in a Mondeo and not a Peugeot, it isn't choked by Peugeot emissions systems
It's very true if you need a vehicle to depend on and relentlessly beat on then diesel is the way to go During the pandemic my 2.0 tdi did 900 to 1200km a day every single day for months on end and it couldn't care less
I personally own a Peugeot 407 coupe with a 3L V6 Biturbo of 240 HP and 450 NM (The BVA6 unfortunately restricts the engine for a question of reliability, unfortunately the French manufacturers stopped the race for power because of ecological standards well before the Germans, for those who doubt it, the French "Youngtimer" have nothing to envy their German counterparts of the time). I would change it for nothing in the world personally! It is an excellent road car as a nicelooking daily , in the great line of Peugeot sedans.
Its insane that newer diesel cars, especially econoboxes are so distrusted since the VW scandal. In my 208 hdi I can get it, if i work for it, to run over 50km/l and my average is 35. On highways its about 27. It has lower emissions than just about any car. But is damned due to the bad mouthing. I keep just because its so damn cheap to drive. The only thing close is EV. I'll probably change it out for one at some point in the future
The ultimate diesel engine would be BMW B57D30S0 3-litre straight six with _four_ turbochargers. I own 2020 M550d xDrive estate (the last model year for this engine), and I truly enjoy driving the car, especially on the Autobahnen. I have driven many diesel vehicles before, but this engine is my personal favourite.
i had a '08 E81 123d remapped (243hp 445nm) and it reached 320.000km before it had some issues, it still ran but the age and cost to repair it wasn't worth repairing anymore: suspension, radiator, brake rotors and pads (it had the M performance brakes so very expensive to replace) had it for 9years the longest i've ever had a car. Last year bought a '18 F20 LCI 125d 224hp stock, now it has different intercooler and remap running 273hp (49hp over stock) and 556nm!!!! (106nm over stock) With 556nm you can drive it "fast and chill" only going to like 2500rpm it really moves without having to rev it out and trash it. If you want a hot hatch but do a lot off km's each year (i do over 20.000km a year) and don't want to ruin yourself with the petrolbills the 123d or 125d are the best out there. my 123d did around 6.5l/100km (43mpg) the 125d does around 6L/100km (47mpg) on average and i'm a pretty sporty driver, on the highway it'll do 5L/100km (56mpg) meaning it does over 800km between fill up's for 273hp it's incredible friend of mine has a golf mk7 gti (remapped) in a straight line it does slowly walk away from the 125d but the torque makes it so you have to really push the gti in order to keep up on fast drive (like 6-7/10 fast) and he struggles to do over 450km on a tank, also the price per liter is still higher because you need to run super 98 in hot hatches. it's such a shame the EU regs made it so they stopped further develop and improve the diesel engines because if you do a lot off km each year you still can have fun without the high fuel bills.
no mention of the most important engines om606 and 1.9alh maybe mention om648. the clip of the electronic injection pump is actually an OM602 that only has a mechanical pump, electronic mercedes pumps were introduced in 1996 with the NA OM606 W210.
Currently have an sq7 2020 with the 4l V8 diesel and 3 turbos (1 electric compressor) best engine i had...around 450hp and below 10l/100km...and is pretty fast...below 5s to 100 and i was cruising at 250km in germany at around 3.5 rpm. Definitely needed to be mentioned as is the latest and probably the last high power diesel to be produced...!!
I appreciate this video, but this guy kind brushed over the Mercedes OM648. That's the best one. Compared to BMW's cars, BMW break down twice as often and on average cost twice as much to fix. The OM648 is so much more reliable then anything BMW ever built and basically offers the same performance. In the end a variable geometry turbo was a better way to go then twin turbo. I get in drags races with V8 in my E320CDI and once you get in 3rd gear or higher the V8 can't keep up.
Diesel Engines aren't dead at all, they're actually the only choice for companies in europe to give to their workers. The 2.0 TDI from Volkswagen is also very very efficient and reliable.
A great video,but i think you haven't focused enough on the common rail ignition: fiat-bosch literally are the reason why we now can have 2.2TD 4 cylinder engines pushing 170hp stock (like my father's E220d) and we don't need a pre-combustion chamber 3.0 V6 turbo for that
Diesel + Manual car= Match made in heaven. Automatic drivers have no idea why diesels are so fondly looked upon by manual car drivers. You dont even need to press the accelerator while going uphill; ease your foot off the clutch and it will climb relentlessly. No handbrake shenanigans, no redlining your petrol engine and burning the clutch. Just sheer low end torque grunt to climb like a mountain goat

If you want that really bad, there is only one option (there might be some swaps but the 420 CDI never made it into the S211 from factory): The Porsche Panamera II Diesel Sport Tourismo, but there was no manual available 🥲.
Toyota 4.5 tdV8 is my favourite, ran a tipper with a chip bin and towing a chipper, great engine

Fact my old e61 535d with a map and intercooler KEPT UP (key wording) with most modern sports cars 20 years later is phenomenal . No pd130 is keeping up with modern sports car without heavy modification and I still got humbled with 380bhp and 700+nm many a time in my e61 from newer cars
Had a pd130 fabia and would keep up with most cars and stable at speed and economincal. Cant go wrong
V12 TDI, arguably the most ridiculous engine to be ever put in a car.
bmw put v12 in many their car models as standard engine
Diesel @@LfsJujek
Bmw didnt put v12 diesel in any car@LfsJujek
Best thing is they originally had no transmission for it. It had too much torque. Only the Veyron transmission would’ve been able to take it. Then 2 years later they limited the output to 1000Nm instead if the 1150 to 1200Nm to be able to put it into the Q7.
@@ego4551 Ye, and they still couldnt use German trans, so the v12 q7 was the only Audi with japanese Aisin transmission.
Theres something about a rich feeling of diesel the way it drives, I absolutely love it the low end torque is unmatched by gas engines
I feel you bro, same here: 3,2L R6 turbo diesel. But I have driven a friends CLS 63 AMG with the M156 6,3L V8 N/A brooo this thing feels like heaven because it has always torque and you can accelerate at 1000rpm just like a diesel and have no turbo lag haha
I totally get that, and the moderate acceleration sound of a inline 6 diesel is just something else, it feels so rich and powerful the way it just purrs along. Really great
@@max479 I used to own an e63 with the m156, wrote it off but looking towards a 535d or 355d with the m57. With slight building this engine is capable of 1300nm which is over DOUBLE that of my old e63
Totally agree, I got a Volvo XC70 with the D5, it is an absolute joy to drive, especially with the manual. You just step on the gas, and once the turbo kicks in, you are flying.
You just didn’t drive something with a big enough gas engine :)
E46 330D is the KING! Mine did 160mph on autobahn and a lap of the Nurburgring, its on 170k miles and runs so smooth, best car ever!
changed mine for an e90, quicker but far lower quality inside, wish i kept the 46
only if its a manual. automatic e46s and 39s had a GM transmission that doesnt handle the torque. worst transmission ever

E60 530D here, that beast did 160mph too and its currently butter at 600k km without engine changes
I have an f31 330d. It’s actually really quick with the newer transmission. With just a chip tune you can get it to 320 hp and it will push 280 km/h and a 4.6 seconds 0-100.
Had an older manual Diesel BMW before and while it was fun (N47 2.0 engine) the acceleration is just not in the same league.
Rough and noisy? An inline 6 or V8 diesel sounds like a symphony to me ears. I don't get how (car) people can dislike this powerful and growling sound ❤

Second, I'm talking about the generation born after 2000, who truly spent their childhood in the cities (polluted cities) where many diesels were in circulation, like Bucharest. Here, 1 in 10 children born after 2000 have asthma or some other respiratory problems. So give me a break. Your experience is not relevant.

You skipped 20 years of diesel history, missing on the very weaknesses Diesel engines had back in those times. The common rail is an Italian tech and revolutionised the stats of such engines. Don't forget it.
The Mercedes CDI was better though, it premiered with 4 valves per cylinder and 120ft/lbs of torque per liter, Fiat didn't get that till much later
@@rainbowwarrior2635 I'm talking about the patent. It happened that Fiat was transitioning from being an innovative company, to the mediocre bs we know of today. The technology was indeed made suitable for a car by FIAT, but later they sold the patent to Mercedes, which was at that time a R&D powerhouse. Italians are great inventors, but not great pursuers
@@marco.castiglia I don't like, that people forget how much we should thanks for the italian geniuses. I love that, you guys there are brings the passion into everything! That's why our 3/3 cars are italian :) My father's first car- love was a Fiat 127 with some Abarth accessories. We had some german, french, japanese cars, but always get back to what we love.. :) how sad, that todays politics/market is not thinking about the history or the prestige of any brand. They ruin every big name, and the italian brands are dying (ok Stellantis is still got some news, but not like the older era). Watching the agony is heart breaking for me.
@@marco.castiglia I worked in Magneti Marelli. It was not sold to Mercedes, but to Bosch, with the condition not to give it to VW initially - that is why they had the Pumpe-Dusen.

great vid on diesel engines, very underrated topic especially on cars not to forget the legendary 1.9TDI
Also, missed chance to mention the Alpina D10 BiTurbo.
Amazing, I'm from India, we have weird vehicle scrappage policy here in the capital region, a diesel car has to be mandatorily scrapped after 10 years of registration, luckily, i transferred my registration to my hometown where this policy doesnt exist. I drive a Fiat Linea 1.3 Diesel, remapped, makes about 115hp/250Nm, and the fuel economy is terrific, 4-5L/100kms on the highways, also this engine from fiat is the National engine of India that powered over 24 cars from different manufacturers like Opel, Chevrolet, Suzuki, Tata, etc.

TBH, NCR NGT ruling is a big scam to force people to buy new cars.
I own a 330cd E46 with factory six speed manual. BMW first ever diesel coupe and in my opinion their best ever attempt at one too.
Currently sitting on 215k miles and being used daily. Absolute power house of an engine and still going strong after 20 years.
The only wrong thing people do with diesel is to use them for short trips.
Diesel only works if it is used at constant load and at operating temperature. Only then, emissions are kept under control.
So no hard accelerations and city driving, but for constant cruise at 130km/h.
Why so fast, can it be also long drive without that speed
@@vlashante Most people I know drive their diesel at 140-170 km/h. In my country there is 130km/h posted limit.
2013 Audi A5 B8.5 quattro 3.0 TDI. 245 hp stock, just under 6 seconds 0-60 and with a remap alone can reach 300 hp.
All that while doing over 50 MPG (UK) on highways, over 35 in town and under 300 GBP per year in tax.
A4 B9 2019 50 tdi 286 hp quattro 620 NM stock, stupid lag. Maybe gonna fix at ABT alongside a remap..
I’ve owned a 2008 BMW E60 535d for a few years. Removed the DPF, remapped the car to run without it, blanked the EGR and removed the swirl flaps… not only was I impressed with the performance gains but also returning an extra 10mpg… I drive on a mixture of roads and the car returns 40mpg. Best all round car I’ve owned!
Passengers are always impressed when I take them out in the car… it will be staying with me for as long as possible.
Unpopular opinion. Diesels are good.
They were, once. These days they are only worth if u do alot of highway, I drive 100% city (since I have 10 minutes with car to work) only with stop and go bumper to bumper traffic. Had 3 diesels and they all had incredibly good fuel economy, but new diesels have DPF,adblue and the engine gets clogged if its not driven alot. For an example when dpf starts working when car is stationary u cant shut it down, and it can only do that cycle 3 times and then it automatically shuts off the engine u cant start it until u get it into dealership (its done as a safety measure to the engine.).Obviously that isnt a problem for someone who does tons of traveling on highway, but for a city car its death. If your dpf happens to break, and its just a question of when, not if, the price of a new one is 4000€, that is more money than I lose on the fuel difference between a petrol and diesel. My Skoda octavia 1.6 diesel did 7-8L/100kmh, while my bmw 1.5L petrol does 9-10. (Once again I dont do highway or out of city driving, its just strictly city). When diesels didnt have all that extra stuff added to them they were insane value because fuel was also cheap and car consumed nothing, but these days its not worth it anymore.
@@Omgiamsotriggered yeah if u drive 100% short distances and only in traffic then diesels are not good. But i drive 100% of the time in city, most of the time in traffic, but once few times a week I drive when the traffic is not dense and I gas my car a bit much for fun. Never had to repair dpf, or anything like that. 190k kilometers and my 1.6 Civic refuses to be broken.
@@wesol4072 What year is your Civic? Japanese cars generally also tend to be better on reliability, I know tons of people who werent so lucky with germans,italins or french cars. My skoda octavia 1.6 tdi was 2014 and also had no issues with dpf in city, however all the newer ones do HAVE because of way stricter and stricter emission and you will kill your engine if you do city only. I am from croatia and everyone drove and swore in diesels here and 1.9 tdi was a cult engine, but many of my friends bought newer generations and it bit them in the end in service costs. I did like diesels at one point of my life however all the new ones they are throwing so many parts into the engines to pass the emissions and I just dont find it being a good value anymore, all that stuff is gonna eventually break and its expensive, while petrol has none of that and only usually is in the 2-3 liters per 100km difference, which is what 20-30€ difference for me on the monthly budget. Petrol hybrids and even some diesel hybrids are good value for strict city driving however their huge starting price just cant be justified for me cuz all the price saving on gas isnt really saved when u already pay that by paying a higher starting price and resale value is horrendous because of expensive batteries.
I drive 24 miles to work and home everyday, 16 miles of it is motorway. 2013 Audi 2.0 TDI, never problem with dpf, 149,000 miles. Change oil every year.
@@nigelboom3943 because dpf gets cleaned on motorway. In city driving it gets clogged because it cannot do its cycle.
I own an E82 BMW 123d with the twin turbocharged N47. Making 204bhp standard, it was actually the first production diesel engine to produce more than 100hp per litre!
0:41 hey that's Azizdrives! He's so goated!
With especially a shout out to the workhorse diesels being the 2.0HDI from PSA, 1.9 JTD from Fiat and the 1.9 TDI from VW that are all absolutely fantastic in their own right 👌🏼
1.9 TDI was developed by Audi... VW engineers were actually big opponents of the early TDI engines... If Audi wouldn't have been in VAG, they would've risen to the size VW has now

old diesels: Only oil changes, everything original 20y.o., glowplugs not working 😈 (starts everytime, 5 cranks at most)
new diesels: My adblue system is not working, im not gonna start in 1000km 😛🤣 (needs new nox sensors for 1000euros + coding)
Yes. Absolutely that.
My daily driver is a T4 with the 88hp 5-cyl TDI (The good one, with VP37 Rotary Pump).
25 years old, engine has never been opened. All 5 glow plugs were dead and i only noticed when testing the old ones after changing them this year. Still startet at -13°C without glow plugs and a slight air leak in the fuel system (bi-metal valve on the Diesel filter). No oil or coolant consumption.. and until 9 years ago it was a company van, always got beaten, grandpa filled it up with gas at some point. Still purrs... and knocks along just fine. EGR and MAF-sensor got deleted 2 years ago. Every oil change gets filtered and goes into the tank. Gives ~100km, engine cranks a little bit longer but runs quieter.
with new diesels, if you remove egr, dpf and adblue system (may be illegal in some places) then they are just as reliable as older diesels
@@labibahasan8302 Well it depends how its done i guess. But still i doubt that u will pass emission test in europe on newer diesels with removed dpf or egr, because there very little window where values should be. Also those things are very implemented in ecu nowdays and if sensors dont get the right values from pressure sensors etc. I doubt it will have good effect for engine operation. Im mercedes ex technician and some customers had decoded adblue and cars runned fine. But im not sure what is long term effect for dpf filter with adblue disabled.
I would personally rather get new petrol engine car rather than diesel. The maintenance and parts for diesels engines are crazy expensive.
@@0123-v1o yeah i feel you 😅 I have old golf MK4 1.9tdi agr. I got it from my dad. So its in family for over 15 years. Oil, filters, brakes, suspension parts and battery. Only thing i changed on engine are vacuum lines causs they were droling after touching 😂 but even with those car runned fine. It cranks little longer, but starts everytime. I think starter is weak, it cranks very slow and rotary pumps dont like that.
My dad and i are still amazed see it going after so much poor maintnance and abuse 😀
@@firsttodie7013 Ah yes, those are also very good :D
I actually had to use the old vacuum lines from my t4 to fix the ones in dads t5 (2007 1.9 PD) because they where all rotten an constantly going into limp mode 😂
Your golf should still have the "dumb" ECU (MSA12 me thinks). To disable EGR, simply get another gasket and roughly cut out a piece of sheet metal (Stainless) to block off the flange where the EGR pipe goes into the Valve. You can also disconnect the vacuum hose to the valve (and block it off) but mine startet "mooing" when i did this. No problem with the blind plate tho.
Other than that, replace diesel filter and the little bi-metal return valve on the filter housing, give it some new nozzles (dont have to change the entire injectors) and it will run for many years.
The first fastest diesel I came across was the Peugeot 306 and yes PSA (now Stellantis) knew how to do diesels very well back then- in fact prior to a particular piece of emissions legislation, they did the smoothest diesel engine too, without the need for hydraulic mounts.
My BMW E60 535D was so good, tuned to 440hp and 940nm. It was a rocket and fuel effecient. 900km on 65L in city, 1300km on highway 130 km/h. M57 for life!

My 2003 RS6 uses 13l/100km, which is also quite good. The Audi A8 3.3TDI I have used only 8l/100km, which is also great for a car of that size luxury and age. What's killing Diesels are emission regulations, which make little sense and greatly reduce reliability. Euro4 Diesels are sufficiently clean, as many institutions have shown with their measurements. During Covid, the emission readings in our cities were the same or went up, although noone was driving their cars.
Audi Q7 V12 TDI and Vw Touareg R50 V10 Tdi are the diesel kings.

I bought a Skoda Octavia mk2 with a BKD 16v 2.0 tdi a few years ago, standard they're 140hp. But after a visit to Darkside, it came back with just shy of 300hp/470lbft. That was the funnest diesel I've owned, would surprise quite a few unsuspecting people
2.0 TDI PD was a bad engine, like the 1.2HTP.
@vojtechadame5860 Agreed, bit of a lemon with the porous heads and the funky oil pump in the sump. Both of which had been corrected on mine at the time. Zero issues after that.
The best diesel car i drove and owned was a S400 CDI. V8 4.0L OM608 The torque is insane. Today i drive a OM651
the OM608 is a 1.5L 4 cylinder diesel from Renault. what you mean is the OM628, sadly quite problematic when it comes to reliability and really not that powerful and torquey compared to what BMW, VW and Audi had in their competing cars of the time, all of which made at the very least 40nm more, with audis 4.0 TDI being nearly 100nm up from it and the Phaetons V10 making a massive 200nm more than the S400 of the time, but still a very nice engine to drive.

It was torque-qy and peppy along with its DCT for a car that weighs just less than 1 ton, 0-60 was less than 7 seconds. It would leave Civics and Mazda 3's and the ford focus in the dust while sipping diesel. The engine was also very quiet and smooth too.

Talking about diesels in MB and VAG groups you should mention OM606 which is considered one of the most bulletproof engines of all time and has a titile of diesel's 2jz (a lot of 500+hp builds in eu), from VAG you have 1.9 sdi which is slow as fuck, but can run on burnt oil and cooking oil for 500kkm without a hesitation, and glorious 3.0 tdi v6 which can have 326hp STOCK and still make 8.5l/100km with quattro and automatic gearbox

Great video. But, Peugeot produced some amazing diesel engines back in the day. My 2007 Mondeo has a 2.0 TDCi, a DW10 engine, and it's beautiful in terms of how smooth it is, and the power output. Thankfully being in a Mondeo and not a Peugeot, it isn't choked by Peugeot emissions systems
One must be careful when choosing a diesel car, for the clutch will likely be the first major component to require replacing.
Diesels are the best types of engine. The only issues now are the EGR and particulate filters. Take them out/bypass them and they’re golden
I love my e60 535d so much, hoping the government doesn’t try force us to give up these amazing cars in the next 10 years
It's very true if you need a vehicle to depend on and relentlessly beat on then diesel is the way to go
During the pandemic my 2.0 tdi did 900 to 1200km a day every single day for months on end and it couldn't care less

I personally own a Peugeot 407 coupe with a 3L V6 Biturbo of 240 HP and 450 NM (The BVA6 unfortunately restricts the engine for a question of reliability, unfortunately the French manufacturers stopped the race for power because of ecological standards well before the Germans, for those who doubt it, the French "Youngtimer" have nothing to envy their German counterparts of the time).
I would change it for nothing in the world personally!
It is an excellent road car as a nicelooking daily , in the great line of Peugeot sedans.
Its insane that newer diesel cars, especially econoboxes are so distrusted since the VW scandal. In my 208 hdi I can get it, if i work for it, to run over 50km/l and my average is 35. On highways its about 27. It has lower emissions than just about any car. But is damned due to the bad mouthing.
I keep just because its so damn cheap to drive. The only thing close is EV. I'll probably change it out for one at some point in the future
The ultimate diesel engine would be BMW B57D30S0 3-litre straight six with _four_ turbochargers. I own 2020 M550d xDrive estate (the last model year for this engine), and I truly enjoy driving the car, especially on the Autobahnen.

Last year bought a '18 F20 LCI 125d 224hp stock, now it has different intercooler and remap running 273hp (49hp over stock) and 556nm!!!! (106nm over stock)
With 556nm you can drive it "fast and chill" only going to like 2500rpm it really moves without having to rev it out and trash it.
If you want a hot hatch but do a lot off km's each year (i do over 20.000km a year) and don't want to ruin yourself with the petrolbills the 123d or 125d are the best out there. my 123d did around 6.5l/100km (43mpg) the 125d does around 6L/100km (47mpg) on average and i'm a pretty sporty driver, on the highway it'll do 5L/100km (56mpg) meaning it does over 800km between fill up's for 273hp it's incredible
friend of mine has a golf mk7 gti (remapped) in a straight line it does slowly walk away from the 125d but the torque makes it so you have to really push the gti in order to keep up on fast drive (like 6-7/10 fast) and he struggles to do over 450km on a tank, also the price per liter is still higher because you need to run super 98 in hot hatches.
it's such a shame the EU regs made it so they stopped further develop and improve the diesel engines because if you do a lot off km each year you still can have fun without the high fuel bills.
I'm using TDI & I love it 😘😘
im at least happy those cars are now just hitting the used market in my country for dirt cheap
Very informative video keep up the awesome work!
I. Love. Diesel.
The humble 2ltr 8v hdi is the ultimate diesel engine. They just keep going
I wish this video was longer so i can enjoy more of it
no mention of the most important engines om606 and 1.9alh maybe mention om648. the clip of the electronic injection pump is actually an OM602 that only has a mechanical pump, electronic mercedes pumps were introduced in 1996 with the NA OM606 W210.
Currently have an sq7 2020 with the 4l V8 diesel and 3 turbos (1 electric compressor) best engine i had...around 450hp and below 10l/100km...and is pretty fast...below 5s to 100 and i was cruising at 250km in germany at around 3.5 rpm. Definitely needed to be mentioned as is the latest and probably the last high power diesel to be produced...!!
A Diesel is a diesel is a diesel is a Diesel.................❤❤❤❤ diesel lover
I appreciate this video, but this guy kind brushed over the Mercedes OM648. That's the best one. Compared to BMW's cars, BMW break down twice as often and on average cost twice as much to fix. The OM648 is so much more reliable then anything BMW ever built and basically offers the same performance. In the end a variable geometry turbo was a better way to go then twin turbo. I get in drags races with V8 in my E320CDI and once you get in 3rd gear or higher the V8 can't keep up.
I love diesels... Theyre fast, have huge torque and... consume air instead of fuel
a tuned V8 4.2 TDI is arguably the best diesel ever made. Reliable, fast, somewhat economical. 535d M57 for a close second.
good video dude
very interseting video keep content up
Diesel Engines aren't dead at all, they're actually the only choice for companies in europe to give to their workers. The 2.0 TDI from Volkswagen is also very very efficient and reliable.
it may not be the cleanest but it sure is the most fun
A great video,but i think you haven't focused enough on the common rail ignition: fiat-bosch literally are the reason why we now can have 2.2TD 4 cylinder engines pushing 170hp stock (like my father's E220d) and we don't need a pre-combustion chamber 3.0 V6 turbo for that
First fast diesels are going back to mid '90s,with first audi a6 and its ultra reliable 2.5tdi(AEL) inline 5cyl, and bmw 525tds
that ending got my eyes water
Good video subscribed, underrated
I'm still using my dads 20134.1 v8 Cayenne S diesel with 850nm tq time to time and that thing is wild
Great video, deserves more views.
Nice Video, but in a Video about Diesel engines, you should include the three american legends Cummins, Powerstroke and Duramax
Those engines are legendary but this video was focused more on fast diesel cars.
Diesel + Manual car= Match made in heaven. Automatic drivers have no idea why diesels are so fondly looked upon by manual car drivers. You dont even need to press the accelerator while going uphill; ease your foot off the clutch and it will climb relentlessly. No handbrake shenanigans, no redlining your petrol engine and burning the clutch. Just sheer low end torque grunt to climb like a mountain goat
U will get dusted by automatic disel and u will save 10x times more fuel on automatic disel idk what ur talking abt ur probably some balkan dude with 1.9tdi golf 4 with manual clutch who has no money for other car and thats why u say it
@@zkilerex9661 who cares if they are faster? You sound like a 5 year old child. When I take my manual BMW e46 320ci with 170hp to the Nürburgring its just as much fun as it was with my automatic BMW e91 335d which was chiped to something between 300 and 350hp.

Good video
Keep it up 👍
I drove Gas engines for the last 6 years daily and just recently bought a 2012 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel it's my first own Diesel and I would never buy anything else as a daily driver again
I mean 39mpg is awesome and it runs and drives like new
Best feeling in the world is to take a German diesel from the 80s or 90s, and play Cheri Cheri Lady
You forgot the FIAT Chroma the first direct injection diesel car
i mention fiat making the first direct injected diesel car but didnt specifed the model
It was alfa romeo 156 2.4 JTD
@@borcemitev2903 Nope.
The Croma 1.9TDID was the first.
Based on the 1.929cc engine, born IDI and used on cars like the Tipo, Delta, Ritmo and so on, then modified with ID.
The 156 was the first common rail car.
