Hi time
I would say that the 170 would be the next step for the scirocco Diesel.
I`ve had our Vw tigaun 140tdi Remapped now its 188bhp.It goes like stink now.
Save money & buy the 140 & get it remapped.

Would have to agree with that, a good remap is far better value

get a 2.0tsi

:lol: :lol: well yes, but if you are going for an "oil burner" better to get a 140 and remap it than pay for a 170. I had a 525d bmw, remapped it and it was as quick as a 530 except had the mpg of a 525 and the insurance of a 525 ( ). Also car was cheaper to purchase! So IMHO the lower bhp and a remap is better.

we have an A3 170 TDi... doesn't do above 44mpg in our use... i'd question the method in remapping a 140 if the reason you bought it for was economy... especially taking into consideration the difference in petrol and diesel costs. i'd argue a petrol doing 35mpg is cheaper to run than a 170

Thats a good point, my last (but one) 3 cars were all diesel, and it was specifically on running costs. But I was never happy, I always felt hard done by in the performance stakes. My job has changed location and as a result my annual mileage has fallen from 40,000 to circa 20,000. The difference in cost of fuel and the fact in the 5-series diesel I was getting 33-34mpg plus my family were in it once or twice a month, I suddenly thought why am I doing this??? Hence the rocco!!

Well yes, but what you should have said was if you are going to get an oil burner, make it a delivery van :lol:

thanks for the comments but im not into remapping as it causes issues with the insurance and not sure how it stands when come to sell it.

This might not be the case;
If the 170 uses a bigger turbo in which case it will go to higher power than the 140, though probably still limited by the clutch,
The 170 might have a FMIC and the 140 only a SMIC,
They may have slightly different gear ratios.

Personnally it will depend alot on my job at the time, but if I am not doing anymore miles communting to and during work than I do at the moment, then I'll be seriously looking at the 'updated' 2.0T fsi which will probably be in the Scirocco by the time the 170 tdi is out.

 

[Le_Savage]

then I'll be seriously looking at the 'updated' 2.0T fsi

Good man... and in reality the only thing you can do as no one can look seriously at the oil burner in the rocco :lol: :lol:
