Smokers of the world unit you only have UR soot to loose
I am a tdi club reader too. The members have a lot of neat repair instructions, sometimes in great detail. This board is less technical in comparison. I like the frugality of the diesel engine but think saving the planet is second to having fun blowing black sooty smoke. I fired an air rifle once after oiling the barrel (silly thing to do) and saw and heard the real dieseling in action. My ears were ringing for 15 minutes.
Diesel on folks!

Diesel on!
Diesel engines emit less carbon dioxide then gas engines. I think what the Peoples Republic of Californication wants is to dictate to the world what is good and what is not for it. MB sells some 60%+ of its cars in the USA there and the USA is the biggest MB buyer in the world so it is a case of the tail wagging the dog. The Europeans and Asias have to drive what the tree-huggers in LA think they should. One exception - when I was in China in the 1980s the Chinese were fueling their imports equipped with full emission gears with leaded fuels. To hell with the check engine lights, they drive on with the choked catalytic converters while NA debates about the imaginary Ozo Layer, the Italian sex maniac.

I just hit 75,000 miles on my 2005 CDI and could not be more pleased with how the car is holding up. It still drives like new and I have had NO ISSUES!! My service advisor says he does not know anyone else that has put miles on as quickly so I though I would check to see if anyone has me beat

I am liking these reliability reports... I've only got 17K on my 2005.. but it's been 100% trouble free for almost 2 years now.. time is as much a killer as miles..
Looking forward to hearing about the 100,000 mile mark!
