Interested to hear what everyone thinks on when to change up on a TDI (ranging from cold to warm) Obviously for performance you want to change 4000 rpm ish, and economy just before 2000 rpm. I'm mostly interested in the in-between i.e. not for max performance or max economy, while being...

I bought my car in March last year. Planning to keep it another couple of years and then look for a very late model, i.e. an 07 or 57 plate. However a bit worried. When i bought my car in March, there seemed to be about 23-27 diesels on there typically. Seems to have dropped...

I've been a member here for a bit now, was previously looking into an Ibiza Cupra TDi, but after putting a deposit (refundable, luckily!!) I took it out on a final test drive, and found the road noise unbearable. Seen as they're pretty thin on the ground, I've decided to look at something...

Hi all, There are lots of posts giving bhp/torque figures, all relating to measurements made on a rolling road, and some of these show significant gains on the standard production figures. This is all very well and good, but I would like to find out what these gains equate to with regard to...

I seem to recall that curtain airbags were an option on Cupra TDIs - am I right ? I haven't seen them mentioned on any used cars I've seen adverts for. Or did they just become standard on Ibizas anyway ?

I have done some boost logs recently for my remapped cupra. For those experts out there should actual boost always be above spec. My actual is above spec up till 3K where it starts to fall below spec. Thanks 4th gear cc ph1 Mark RPM spec Act d.cycle 0.38 1554 1068 1140 31.5 0.78...

hola! I've just bought myself an 03 arosa (and am very pleased), it only came with one manual key that works the locks tho', should I have gotten an electronic radio one too or is it fully functional as it is? cheers :) oh yeah, what does the "s" bit mean? is that short for "s...old...

Here’s a question for TDI geeks. The TDI 2.0 litre 140bhp engine in the Leon has a faster 0-60 time that the same engine in the Altea. Obviously the Altea is heavier and taller so you would expect it to be a bit slower. Thing is though the 140 bhp is measured at the brake so does it not take...

Hello, its me again :D Anyways, I was looking at the range and noticed that there was a 1.9 TDI and a 2.0 TDI. Anyone with experience of both? What is are the pros and cons of either of them? I read somewhere (What Car probably) that the 1.9 engine is the older of the two but is it any worse or...

How many FR+ TDIs are there in the UK does anyone know? I believe all were sold before mid january. also when were they released?
