Which diesels have a throttle plate ? Just interested.
Diesels have more engine braking, higher gearing may mask it somewhat. A diesel in 4th may brake as much as a petrol in 4th but the rpms would be very different with the petrol being higher. Higher rpms = more compression strokes, Diesels have more compression for each stroke.
They also have bigger bangs (but fewer of them) which makes the torque.
