I have both diesel and petrol cars.... I love the diesel!!
the only complain I have is it's like what most ppl said, dirty at gas stations.... this is mainly due to the fact diesel is similar to cooking oil... it doesn't evaporate..... hence that dirty, oily stain.... |

anybody here added tuning box(racechip, dtuk, vector, etc) to their diesel engine? apparently can gain quite alot of power.... but was told that may cause black smoke when we floor it.....

QUOTE(Mavik @ Dec 12 2013, 12:12 PM) Even without the tuning boxes when you put the pedal to the medal, you get black smoke coming out of the exhaust. It is the typical characteristic of the diesel engine. oh ok... I've not noticed black smoke on mine(from the rear view mirror) yet..... maybe coz it's still new..... |
