My 07 plate Ibiza 1.9Tdi sport

[RichieRich]

Thats it for now might add some more up sometime let me know what you think

 

[justlivyalife]

Smart How you finding it compared to your 1.4?

 

[RichieRich]

very quick lol handles well too as long as u want harder suspension then you will deffinally get it with 205/45/16 tyres... mine is still running in and just jumped from 40mpg to 45 within the last day i hope this still goes up a bit more... as it has just over 4k on the clock....

 

[RobM]

Very tidy motor bud

 

[chris285]

great colour

i am saving for the fr tdi in that colour, cracking looking motor

 

[RichieRich]

thanks guys yeah was hoping to get the Fr but i didt want to wait lol i waited less than a week before i took it off the garage!! so it was lucky it was the colour i wanted it in! and only 3 characters different in the number plates between my old one and this one lol, already have some mods to want the cupra air intake next... umm hearin the turbo must sound nicer than the diesel engine lol

 

[justlivyalife]

Mine's now got 16k on it (1st Dec 56 plate) and I'm getting 50 to 55mpg on each tank mate .

 

[unitzero]

nice mate, did you trade your 1.4 for it? how much did you get for the petrol if you don't mind me asking? Also, how much are you saving on fuel per month?

 

[deadeyejim]

The intake and green filter won't make it that much more noticeable unless you put your windows down

Does seem to improve the throttle response though

 

[RichieRich]

i dont mind if its not much just dont want it totally standard lol i got 4750 for it as it was a gray import... and no warranty left etc... with 39k on the clock.. and a bonnet full of stone chips

 

[RichieRich]

as i have only had it a week today i cannot really say to much about the fuel economy... but its barly ran in and got 120 down a a road in it woops! didt feel that quick till i looked down lol

 

[unitzero]

oooh, i got told off by many people for doing over 100mph during run in, I know its tempting but apparently no good for the engine in the long run.

Just test drove a Fabia vRS today. Rapidness!

 

[RichieRich]

woops ill TRY and remeber this, how many miles do u think it should be "run in" for?

 

[RichieRich]

apparently i knew to much for them to tell me everythink like this (just shows i come on here most nights)

 

[unitzero]

no idea how long really! i just remember saying "hey i got to 105 on the way down to Newquay on the motorway"
This was like a week after picking up the car and a bunch of folk piped up shaking their heads and saying that you're supposed to take it easy,

I'd imagine there are folks on here that know the answer though.

 

[RichieRich]

5mph woo!! lol would some1 in the know like to tell me please? it was a ex demo so i would have thought its been ragged a little bit before anyway!

 

[deadeyejim]

I was told about 1000km then you can push it harder. Then harder still from 1500km.

I had 1000miles on the clock before I really opened it up for any sustained duration.

 

[RichieRich]

so 4k should be fine then?

 

[deadeyejim]

Yep

 

[RichieRich]

feew lol thank goodness for that... im takin it stedy with slow gear changes which would help...
