I've heard the sprinter engine (5 cyl). I think that is a CDI, but I could be wrong. My impression was that it was pretty quiet at idle relative to an older diesel.

You know, the revolutionary part of a CDI engine is the common rail part. Direct injection diesel's have been made for some time. I wonder if anybody thought of making a common rail indirect injection diesel (CIDI). Or how 'bout a common rail conversion for a 616/617 or a 601/602/603 series of diesel. No that would be neat.
