Q

Wouldn`t a 1400 cc diesel engine produce a lot of vibration?

A

* No. Actuall, Vibrations in an engine depend more an factors like the numbers of cylinders and the balance between moving masses inside the engine rather than on the capacity of the engine. In fact you can experience the first hand, on one of our vechicles in the showroom. * The cars also tested for unwanted noise and vibrations at the design stage itself, in special anechoic chambers.
