Yep, I replaced replaced four Potenza RE050,

Less noise
Better comfort
Possibly better MPG
Equal dry grip
Possbily better wet grip (but un-fair comparison 2mm versus 6mm)

I selected the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2

Euro 4 versus Euro 5 perhaps?

I'm not arguing, its just what VW Drive printed, I am more inclined to believe the Evo figure of 6.2 (200ps), the new 210PS can'be slower can it?

Well stated David. it may be that it is isolated to a particular run of engines.....lets hope so! Still even with a replacement 1.4 I'm not feeling confident about them, as once off warrrenty, what then, heaps of hours off the road and heaps of expense. Finding it ironic that it is the ''engine of ...

Firstly, thank you RW1 for bring balanced to the picture. VW have made 500,000+ of the 1.4 engine ( http://www.carsguide.com.au/site/news-and-reviews/car-news/volkswagen_golf_118tsi_warning" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ) and only a tiny number have made there way online t...

Oh dear, are you saying that your second engine has the same fault after 1500KM? Check these two threads; http://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6087" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=5981&...

Hello there I just want to confirm that a number of broken 1.4 tsi 160hp engines have been reported in recent weeks on the Italian scirocco and golf forums. The German counterpart of this forum lists a dozen or so broken twinchargers as well ( http://www.iroc-forum.de/showthread.php?tid=9964" ...

Hi everyone, I'm a new poster (someone on http://uk-mkivs.net/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; mentioned this forum after reading about my problems). I've just had a new engine fitted on my GT160 Golf, after it lost power with the EML EPC lights coming on. The problem wasnt ...
