 this is usually because of the different enviroment conditions. they can affect a engines performance dramatically.. turbocharged engines like the TDI and 1.8T are badly affected by the ambient air temperature and heatsoak, where the engine electronics reduce boost and power output to prevent detonation and premature engine failure

| My old 1.4 16v had 116bhp. Of course though, it wasn't standard!

| My so called PD 130 produces 158hp and that is bog standard, I did phone skoda up about this and they stated 130bhp is a minimum you would ever see, but to be honest I have never seen one that produces only 130bhp.
