[Vwdiesel] all this talk about revving..

[Fernando Fiore]

Now that I am home on visit, My Audi diesel is back under my authority
instead of my dad's.  Every time I come here and start to drive it is VERY
slow, and as I drive it power increases slightly and it smokes MUCH less by
the time I leave.  My dad short shifts it like crazy, and I tell him how it
can rev over 2 grand (who knows, no tach) and it won't blow up... but foe
some reason he is just scared to.  The rabbit, my daily driver always gets
beaten from time to time, which I have been told also helps keep the
injectors free from any buildup, in addition to everything else stated.

Diesel stations.. I once filled up on the road in VA at a pricey texaco with
"Premium Diesel" which I thought was BS, but when I went to pump it, it had
a sticker claiming cetane 46, the highest I have ever seen above 42.  I am
not really sure what a difference it made as I was fully laden and pulling a
trailer.  If I could fillup somewhere with cetane 50, I would be there
everyday regardless the price.  Whoever that was, did you feel any
difference?

My thoughts and ramblings,


Fernando Fiore, "Nando"
