| new engines? was talking to my dad who's placed an order for an octavia this week. He test drove a 1.6 hatch, but wanted an estate, so ordered a 1.8 He said that the dealer told him that there were new engines out, or at least, would be by the time his car comes. He was told (if I remember correctly) that the new 1.8T he's getting will be close in power to a current 2.0, but closer economy-wise to the current 1.6 Is this right ? has anyone heard of new engines coming in, or has the dealer just been pulling his leg ? |

| Re: new engines? Yes , the 2.0FSI (150bhp) has been replaced by a 160bhp 1.8TFSI engine which should be better to drive and lighter on fuel. Don't think anyone here has got one yet though

| Re: new engines? quite sure, i have one sat on my drive the 1.8T would have had a much wider torque spread thana N/A 150bhp 2.0 the 150bhp 1.8T has full torque available from something silly like 1800-5000rpm.

| Re: new engines? hmmh- looks like I'll have to try for a shot once he gets it. sadly in order to get one registered by the end of September to get the free spec upgrade he had to go for one already being built, so he didn't get his first choice of colour |
