Scirocco Central

I have two VWs. A 07 plate 2.0 TDi GT Golf manual and a 1.4 TSi Scirocco manual. Over the same even mix or town and motorway miles I average 48mpg in the Golf and 40mpg in the Scirocco. Only covered 1000 miles in Scirocco so I expect that economy may rise slightly as engine loosens up. I much prefe...

Ah, VW being conservative with their power figures then. Seems to be the same with seat and probably Audi and Skoda as I know people with the cupra tdi's getting figures over 10bhp higher than the listed bhp. Indeed, but what I don't get is, why would they do that? it keeps it in insurance group 16...

thats an easy one nearly every scirocco tested on a rolling road comes in about 214 to 218 bhp thats why the lower 0 to 60 than vw claim i think its something to do with hacing an audi ecu but dont quote me on this one http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/vv92/sciroccorocket/Superchips.gif see sample...

Main reason I say that, ...

fair comment alex, hope my comments can be deemed informed based on 56,000 miles of TDI ownership, 53,000, 10,000 and 7,500 miles of TSI engined ownership :yes: i have done 35k of diesel miles in a golf and 650miles in the petrol but after the 2.0tsi id never go back to a diesel, i love how smooth ...

i dont hate the engine i just dont think it belongs in the scirocco, I guess I can understand thinking that the 140bhp tdi doesn't belong in the scirocco, but I do think that the 170bhp tdi makes sense. It would give you a great handling car with some decent performance and can be economical too (f...

I'm not really understanding why people dislike the TDI so much, especially the new common rail version which is a very good engine. I had a test drive today in a Scirocco 1.4TSI and I must say I really didn't like the engine. The engine is very smmoth but It feels seriously underpowered for the car...
