Ibiza 130 TDi Sport

[Danny_B]

Hi all im Dan, just registered on here.

At the moment i drive a 306 D turbo with a few mods.

-front mounted intercooler.
-turbo turned up to 19 psi.
-adjusted fueling.
-boost guage.
-Gti-6 front brakes.
-Gti-6 interior.

All this was carried out by the previous owner, I bought it thinking i get a quick car with good fuel economy.... but its crap on diesel! My Fiesta Zetec S was much better on fuel and faster!

Anyway im looking to get an Ibiza tdi 130 sport soon. What are they like on fuel?? Iv read they are quick but what cars does it beat to give me an idea??

Cheers in advance.

Dan

welcome to the site

The pd 130's really are nippy cars for a low group insurance high mpg car! if remapped to 170-180bhp then they will stay or someclaim will beat clio sports, fiesta st's st170's cars like this id imagine they would stay with or beat but the cars your racing do 25mpg average the pd130 can be driven hard and stay above 30mpg probably!!!!

youve come to the right place

I drive from essex to london every other day, if i was sitting on the m25 at 70-80 mph what mpg would i be getting standard and remapped??

 

[RichieRich]

mine sits at 40 (normal 10-20 mile trips) however i drive it so i just drive it hard lol, i beet a 306 on my way home he had no chance all boy racerd up lol mine is only a pd100 too

 

[Danny_B]

40 mpg on a pd100?? How comes?? Do you drive it flat out everywhere or is that normal?? I reckon mine is on par with a pd100 maybe quicker.

welcome to SCN!

i got a PD130 (base) and if i commute sensibly i have seen 62.3 mpg after my remap, usually average 55mpg!

when i have hammered it (redline in every gear ) it has never ever dropped below 39mpg!

group 7 insurance, £110 car tax a year average over 50 mpg easy

 

[Danny_B]

air121005 your car looks soo nice!

what you have just said is music to my ears! I want one now!

What remap have you got? Bhp and Nm?

Also what wheels have you got?

hi mate try and go for the fr same engine i think but just has a few extra sporty touches when i just had my re-map i used to average on the motorway ( i go from buckingham to wolverhampton twice a week) roughly 60ish mpy well thats what it said but i used to nail it before i got on motorway and when i got off lol so could have been higher lol they engine is really tunable and a diesel big tuebo is much less than a petrol one isn't it Rash?? hehehe

 

[RichieRich]

i have no idea why it sits at 40 (before the intake and k&n was lower than that!) and nope i dont redline it at all, norm is about 3k but there is a flat spot at around 2k which i want a remap to that this out... celtic tuning can "The 1.9 TDi engines we can take from 100bhp up to 155bhp and from 177lbft torque up to 274lbft torque" "The cost of the remap is £300 all inclusive for which we travel to your location"

 

[rashcupra]

go for the fr if you can as mentioned no exteriormods wouldbe needed as the look sporty and more agressive

i have an FR pd130 i waz wondering if my mpg computer wasnt working as i got 60mpg today driving to work! but if yours does it chances are its right!!

normaly get between 38 if i boot it about 42/44 if drive it easy
takin it really easy to work today i got 60.1!
only managed 50 on way home tho!

Hiya matey good choice so far but would recommend (as i have one) the FR Tdi. Its 130 brake standard and it goes and goes and goes and goes..... I wouldnt say it was blindingly fast but hey its a derv...

What makes me do a sex wee most i sthat when i drive from newcastle to wolverhampton and back i can do it on one tank and still have around 100 miles left.

From a full tank with mixed driving i have managed over 400 miles which imo for something as nippy as the fr is bloody good stuff..... oh and its insurance group 4 and tax bracket 2... quids in.

[Danny_B]

I want an FR but my budget wont let me stretch to it. Im gonna get the Sport 130 which has the same engine so will still perform the same. Anyone live near southend and wana take me for a burn!? lol

I have the 1.9TDi 130 sport.

It has been known to show 60mpg on the motorway (70mph)

Normal driving I get into the 50mpg but giving it some serious beans then high 30s or low 40s.

It is on the standard mapping but with the PD160 air intake and a green stuff air filter.

I have heard people say that the mpg goes up after a remap (if you drive it nicely)

On average i get about 350-400 miles from the tank @ £40 to fill up.

[Danny_B]

400 miles to £40 is roughly 45mpg yeah?? What sort of driving are you doing?

 

[rashcupra]

mtibiza i can get 350 out of a full tank in mine

 

[MTIbiza]

400 miles to £40 is roughly 45mpg yeah?? What sort of driving are you doing?

A good mixture of motorway and rural... also blatting to the station when I am running late!

It gets some real abuse too normally when people are sitting on my bootlid..... all that torque and they are gone! that and a bit of smoke which they don't seem to like either.

What was is like on fuel before the pd160 intake and green air filter?? Also how much does this mod cost and are there any noticeable differences?

 

[muddyboots]

I used to have a 130 TDI Sport.
With remap, green filter and Cupra intake my long-term average (over a complete mix of roads) was 48mpg.
'Twas easy to get way over 50mpg on steady cruises.

If you get an early 130 TDI Sport there were a few extra toys - extra dials, extra speakers, engine cover, plus several others that I can't remember !

There is not much difference MPG wise from adding the pd160 intake and filter.

Performance wise the turbo seems to pick up quicker and the turbo seems to whistle a little louder...

Oh and as the filter lasts a lifetime it doesn't need to be replaced at service so in the long run you save money!
