So this is a PD engine?

I'm very interested to see how it goes. Even a low % blend with minimum impact on mechanical would be something I'd consider.

No its NOT a PD Lump- it is the ALH used before the PD, as i know the PD is not happy at all on veg

There was a guy on youtube who had instructional videos about using veggie in his Jetta (think Colonial name for a Bora) 1.9 and had done so for about 50K miles - he was interviewed on some kind of TV program too. I'll do a search and post back if I find it. His Jetta/Bora was the same platform as yours.

The on board display is usually wildly out - you may find the instant display has a few "favourite" readings you always seem to hit.

You would be better off with the one from the 130 though, smaller so less lag ?

This was the guy I found a few years ago, there are loads more now.

EDIT - Never mind...

Eh? Did you remove the vid?

Re the lag- dont mind waiting for some shove

Yeah. Google "Grease Car" and it should come up.

Seems you need a heated tank to make it work and purge it out before shutting off. I looked at it last in 2011 when I had the VRS which had a PD lump so kind of left it.

I did ponder an XUDT 306 estate around the same time but went Aygo instead.
