It's in Autocar so it must be True

Sound very possible though,

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

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

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.

I'm sure my statement will prove true, given time Carl

and it's a VERY posh Avensis if you don't mind

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

....But nothing like as posh as a new RS3, especially in grey

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.

seems like it might not be true, according to this guy on SCN

... i would know it if volkswagen wants to stop the production of the 1.4 TSI engine ... and volkswagen don´t stop the production. END!

i know it because i work at Volkswagen AG Wolfsburg in the Research & Development.

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 ...

^^^^ Oooh, Polo R on its way???   Suddenly my ears prick up and the Polo becomes not just pretty, but pretty interesting too....
Bring it on, make mine a blue one. Mid life crisis here I come.  

4wd too!!!

^^^^
That KevinIB guy from VW Wolfsburg R&D needs to come over here and not waste his time on SCN! 

Someone PM him 

[big_stu_86]

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

[Janner_Sy]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo dont say that, mines being built as we speak
