New VRS

john_grant358 · 18-01-2008, 19:16

Just thought id tell people what iv been told.

Skoda dealer told me the MKll fabia VRS was due out the end of this month but has been put back because they are having problems with the 2.0L diesel engine (out the audi aparently)

djswivel · 18-01-2008, 19:19

Lovely. A bit more speculation to add to the pot.

My local dealer told me they had no idea when it's due to arrive, and I'm inclined to believe them as there is far too much guessing going on around the fabled mk2 vrs.

john_grant358 · 18-01-2008, 19:27

Iv given up!

djswivel · 18-01-2008, 19:37

Yeah, I've sort of turned off as no one can actually say when it's going to appear.

[dream]Maybe one day in the future a New VRS thread will have pictures, specs, dates......[/dream]

john_grant358 · 18-01-2008, 19:38

Good luck with your dream mate! lol!

djswivel · 18-01-2008, 19:40

Bit of a hijack, but have you got any pics of your silver dash kit?

john_grant358 · 18-01-2008, 19:44

Got a crappy one on my phone, il get it on here...hold on..........

john_grant358 · 18-01-2008, 20:10

Here we go

youngsyd · 18-01-2008, 20:18

Ever wondered if your dealer is full of crap?.....

john_grant358 · 18-01-2008, 20:20

O Yes!!!

UWO · 19-01-2008, 21:09

I reckon it'll come out in 2009 with the new 1.8T 160bhp and the new 2.0 diesel 143bhp (common rail) engines in it.

The old 180 bhp 1.8t makes little on the PD130, @ 160 brake would be a step backwards.

jasc1988 · 19-01-2008, 22:25

I dont think there will ever be one, the new fabia is de-scus-ting... eww

Skodaboy1983 · 19-01-2008, 22:31

my dealer told us when we bought the vRS that the new one would be out in 2008 and 2009 and told me the prices for the fabia vRS were holding their values.

the 1.8tfsi replaces he 2.0fsi,not the 1.8 20vt that has been replaced by the 2.0tfsi,so no backwards step at all

Karaibrahim · 19-01-2008, 23:37

My dealer told me that there will be no more Fabia VRS for now. There were plans for a S2000 Fabia with a normally aspirated petrol engine. No more diesel powah.

What is running with the 1.8tfsi in the VAG group then? Is it the Polo GTI?

A3 is running the 1.8tfsi as of last month iirc, Mk2 Octy any day now and it's bound to go into a warm golf or Jetta.

Fabia vRS SE · 22-01-2008, 18:14

Read in this weeks Autocar magazine that the new Fabia vRS might be coming in 2009.

Also mentioned that with the new Superb, they might bring out a vRS version of that too, 3.6 V6... same engine as the Passat R36 i think. Due in spring time. looks smart
