Again, no turbo diesel engines were sold in sedans in Europe. Period.

Add on or swap.

From the sound of things you should probably sell it and buy a Honda. Far less to mess with.......

I live in south city near SLU and work near Riverport. I would love to review these things with someone who knows more about them than I do. I had a friend who was supposed to help me with this, but he no longer lives in the area.
