Watwheels Supersonic December 18, 2008 Share December 18, 2008 (edited) Just type in the Korean car's model plus "CRDi" (Common Rail Diesel injection) and google. Skoda + TDi(Turbo Diesel injection) Toyota is D4-D, Crown cab I think is old tech using indirect injection.

Fcw75 Hypersonic December 18, 2008 Share December 18, 2008 All I know is that the Superb has a 2.5L V6 TDI engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelpie 2nd Gear December 18, 2008 Author Share December 18, 2008 (edited) I asked for "correct" one and SG Taxi spec because we get different answers from everywhere. For example, some said Sonata CRDI is 170bhp/40kgm and some commented it is only 143bhp/33kgm, some are 158bhp/22.3kgm. So who is correct?

Fcw75 Hypersonic December 18, 2008 Share December 18, 2008 (edited) Low end is not for sprinting? What is your definition of sprinting? Edited December 18, 2008 by Fcw75 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
