dxg Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I've driven the 3 cylinder 1.4 TDIs inthe polo - both the earier 75hp and the facelift polo's 80hp version and they're great engines.Lots of poke because the torque is low down like all other PD TDI engines. Just remember to short shift if you want to ride the torque curve rather than the power curve. I do this all the time in the VRS (change around 2.5 - 3k) and the results are very impressive. So much so, that the GTI now feels slow because it feels "wrong" to have to rev the nuts off something to make it go. And, A2s are also great cars. A friend of mine had one, and I was really impressed with the quality of the cabin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dxg Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Hmmm... mmm...(silver, facelift?)I just did a search of what's available with that engine...I did a press review of them when they first came out (sadly it's been lost, but some of it is here: http://www.tigerstyle.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtop...;t=6998#p50030) and *loved* them back then...I'll also bet his first mod will be the infamous "cubby box mod" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
