yes they had a diesel engine but only for 2 years 1984-1986 and the engine was made by Oldsmobile
yes They were a poor designed motor that was made by Volkswagon/Audi and they quit importing the US version in 1985 However in Europe and Sweden they have a 5cyl version that is almost bulletproof. Unlike the one made by VW/Audi for Volvo, it is Volvos own engine. Very quiet and somewhat powerful
The optional diesel engine in an '04 F250 Ford is a 6.0L V-8 Turbo Diesel made by Navistar (International)
The engine model of the Audi A8 depends on the year of the car. The newest Audi A8, made in 2013, uses a A8 L 2.0 TFSI hybrid engine, which can reach a maximum speed of 146.0 mph.
A diesel engine is heavier than a petrol engine because some parts in a diesel engine are made from cast iron such as cylinder sleeves etc. The weight difference is usually between 10-20kgs.
International Truck and Engine Company makes the PowerStroke Diesel engine for Ford. They also made the 6.9L IDI engine and 7.3L IDI engine. They made the 6.9L IDI, 7.3L IDI, 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel, 6.0L Powerstroke Diesel, and 6.4L Powerstroke Diesel. Ford strayed away from International for 2011 because of many problems with the 6.0L and 6.4L. For 2011, Ford is making its own diesel engine, the 6.7L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel V8.
Diesel engines fire on compression rather than spark. This requires that a diesel engine be made much stronger than a petrol engine. All internal components are made to much stronger specifications. A petrol engine could not handle the higher compression and would self destruct.
