UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi Everyone,

Was wondering if anyone has any info on the exact engine specs of the polo GTI engine. Particullary the fuel inkection system. I am trying to determine if these engines used in the UK are direct injected, port injected or a combination of the two? Does anuone know?

Cheers

Have never heard of JB1/4 but will have a wee look and see what google draggs up. These engines should be good to well over 250Hp safely going by the specs and the usaul VW margin that they add into their engines. Recon the limiting factor will probubly be the gearbox, not sure what that'll top out ...

Am yet to try it, only have another 70 miles before the 620 miles, cant wait to give it a good thrash afterwards and see what its really like. Very nice car to drive, maybe pop ...
