Which vRS engine ?

Gaelicstorm7 · 19-05-2008, 23:08

Hi guys,

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I've tried searching on here already but can't find a straight answer.

I understand there are two different engines that were used in the Fabia vRS, was wondering how to tell which I've got in mine (it's an 05 plate, if that helps), is it also true that the bhp figure of 130 was underestimated by Skoda ?, if so whats the true figure likely to actually be.

Cheers

Alan

You will have the ASZ engine, No engine stutter

On the newer BLT engines they seem to have more power, a few have rr at 145-150 bhp.

But taking into account no rr is accurate i'd say it safe to say most older ASZ's will be not far off the 130 ps as stated by Skoda

You'll have the one that isn't the BLT

Thanks for that guys :-), glad it's not the one with the st-st-st-st-stutter.

sorry to knick ur post here but which is the best to go for then age wise??

The stutter isn't too bad tbh but if you dont want it look for an ASZ engine coded fabia, the early 53/04's had the older longer 6th gear. Some 04's like mine got the never revised shorter 6th gear.

Think the ASZ ran to 55 plate / 06 but im unsure.. im sure a search would reveal all however

the stutter is an easy fix,turn off the egr with vagcom,and get the dealer to fit the egr mod,job done no stutter,and the blt's have a little more power as you stated,mine went on the rolling road standard at 155/270ft lbs,and that was at awesome

Look at your V5 log book, tells you on there (engine number)

Will start with either ASZ or BLT, ASZ being the old and BLT the newer
