So was the 1.4TSI, but it still doesnt obscure the fact that its probably one of the most unreliable engines available from VAG. There must be a couple new posts each week about new engines being fitted now people have started getting to 10-20k!!
Are you talking about RS3 engines lunched here or the 1.4? I have only heard of the one, as mentioned above. Ive not heard about any others from the RS forums and certainly not 2 a week?
Once again, and I am defending the RS corner, for all those that are being negative about them, try one, they are a cracking car, with truely devastating performance. Anyone local to me is more than welcome to come for a ride in mine
That was in response to the comment about the 2.5TFSI being awarded best engine 4 years running. I merely pointed out that this specific statistic didnt mean jack, as the 1.4TSI has won the best engine in its category about 6 years in a row, and thats considering its a severely unreliable engine, so dont rely on such statistical sales and journo jargon.
I think the point was more 'something can win engine of the year, and still be a sh*t engine'.... example the 1.4.
I don't think they were saying the 5 banger is a pup.
Yep. Exactly what i meant
