So expect the new MKVI's to have a cheaper chassis AND a cheaper engine than the MKV - but still cost more :laugh:

Just because you have a posh Toyota Avensis doesn't mean you can start hurling abuse everywhere :laugh: :booty:

From reading the Scirocco forum there seems to be a few issues with the engine ? (Misfiring among other things), and all sorts tried to fix the problem with the end result being a new engine!!, wonder if thats behind it too ?

It'd be a shame, it's a belter of an engine.
Sideways yo!

read quite a few articles on this now.  Alot of people jumped on the bandwagon saying it was down to reliability, but the engines 5 years old and has won the top awards everyear since its release, so i doubt that tbh.  Cant imagine it being cheap to make though

IMO the twincharger is overkill you don't need to twincharge if you turbocharge it properly in the first place, other makes manage just as well and make similar power/torque.

at the end of this year, maybe at the beginning next year, another (very fast) Polo comes out with the 1.4 TSI Engine ... so, we don´t need to talk about the end of this engine ...

to be honest guys ive replaced at least a handful of these engines for crumbled pistons between the piston rings in scirroccos and golfs, i dont really rate these engines for that reason, but when there running good they are great for what they are imo!  :happy2
