UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

hi there guys i currently own a polo 1.4 sport 100bhp and im finding it thirsty on petrol! iv been thinking of buying a 1.9tdi pd for the consumption but if i revo remapped it i would have 145 bhp and 225 torque roughly ? so because the diesel is heavier can i expect it to still be alot quicker than my polo and keep up with the likes of saxo's and other slightly faster cars?
would be great if anyone could help
regards dub_dan

In stock form the PD100 is faster than the 1.4 16V, despite being heavier. It's not all about BHP/tonne...torque has a significant effect too. And my remapped 1.4 TDI sees off pesky Saxo VTRs without any problems, so a 1.9 will have no problems.

Note: I don't condone "racing"

cheers dude im really hoping im gn get one now just gota sell my red beast!

i have the 1.9 remappd forget saxos you can be racin Golf - Passats 2.0 tdi's

With a re-maped PD100 you'll keep up with golf PD 150's Beat 2.0 passats, & EAT everything else.... saxo's will be like little toys, or, certainly little specs in your mirrors!.... lol

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but all this EATING everyone else is starting to do my head in. Yeah, a 1.9 TDi remapped will beat a 2.0 TDi stock, but then a 2.0 TDI remapped will p*** all over a mapped 1.9l. Same with PD150s - remapped they push over 190 BHP. And the 2.0l NA Petrol engines are rubbish: They only put out 115 BHP in Pre 04/05 cars and 150 BHP in later cars. Compare apples to apples, not oranges

And regarding Saxos, I reckon a stock VTS will still be faster than a remapped 1.9 TDi Polo. Yes, remapped 1.9s are nippy, but aren't the quickest things on the road, not even close.

is it just me or is the only thing you lot do happen to be racing each other from the lights and hang onto the bumper of the car in front on the motorway

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

thanks for all your replies guys well most of them what can i expect to get from a full tank of diesel?
regards

well i dono locally i dont think i get much about 70 80 from a tenner booting it. on the motorway i went to london recently and for one tank i went there and back which was around 430 miles.

i tend to get between 500-550 miles on a tank. average speed camera help achieve this by sticking to 50mph!

Zedzo on the motorway were you tanking it or driving it carefully?
regards dub_dan

Id say arround standard speed between 70 - 80

In real driving (A, B, Motorway and city commute) I get an indicated 52-54mpg all the time.

The car's stock apart from pd160/k&n and some careful mods to the air intake before the pd160.

If you want to run low, watch your sump 1.9TDis have very little clearance when slammed (I'm on 16x7.5, 195/45, et20, APs all the way down on the back and front to match that height). I don't clear speed pillows.

fivetones thanks for the reply, what do you tend to get to a tank?

the sumps are really low on them im down on collies on the standard sport 16s (9n3) and now n then it does scrape the cover
