Hi all,
I know you have a lot of different views on the 1.9 td engine BUT....what is/was your worst nightmare / most embarassing moment with this motor. Has anybody actually failed to negotiate a hill. I ask because I am still tempted to get a Dethleffs Globetrotter with the 1.9 td motor. (Mainly sensible replies please). Thanks tuk-tuk...that's not my real name violent1

We've taken a 1.9 over the Alps some time ago. Not quick it has to be said - but we got there. Laughing Laughing Laughing

I doubt if you would under normal circumstances encounter a hill you could not climb. We "did" the Alps about three times in our Polensa.
Exceeding slow but no hint of failure. Its just that every hairpin is first gear, maximum speed is about 5mph and by the time you get into second its back to first for the next bend. Hard work and I found embarrasing.

Many years ago we regularly towed a largish caravan over and around all the Alpine passes. The towing car was a petrol 70ishBHP with never a problem.
My 100BHP diesel MH should, and does, go anywhere Wink

If it can get up porlock, it will go up most hills, and lets be honest, how often do you encounter hills of that nature !!
