In Europe, more than 40% of the new selling cars are diesel.
Audi has a 1.9 lt engine that brings out 150 HP and more than 280 Nm .
Less consumption, as here we dont produce oil , and the prices are very expensive.
Less pollution with catalytic engines, which are cleaner than the gasoline.
Electronic injection (common rail) does not require the proccedure for removing air from the system, as there are two fuel pumps now.
The engine sound is almost the same at idle . but when accelerating, the turbo whistrle is excellent.
The red line is now @ 5000 rpm and not @2500 in old diesels
Personally I haven't seen black smoke in my SF even in tough conditions.
