[pritchardR27]

what car would you get if you had to get rid of your 197/200 for a cheeper car ie 2k ish as ill be getin rid in the next year to get a house, im thinking something like a 106 quiksliver ect. goin to hate it but i cant live with mum forever :001_unsure:

172 / 182. Plenty about, cheap enough.

 

[roystinho]

I'd get a nice tidy Ph1 172, in black

I have never owned one, but I would suggest a 172/182.

Depending on how important economy is, you might get into a Fabia VRS or Ibiza TDi130/150 by then?

I think they're 130ps, but I'm struggling to find any for 2k, and if you did it would have massive mileage.

all fabia VRSs have the PD 130 engine.

i had a GT TDI highline and i was bang into derv tuning last year.

Get a 106 gti not a quiksilver, it will kill you to go in something that slow lol, gti's are quick though!

+1

or if your after a cheaper car still but want GTI performance then get a VTS.

I know the Fabia VRS is 130PS, as are various cooking Ibiza's, but what about the Ibiza Cupra TDi?

 

[Gouldy]

The cupra Ibiza TDIs have the PD 160 engines. (PD stands for pump deuce (how ever thats spelt) btw)

 

[RalphyBMW]

But it's a 1.9TDi PD, with 158PS, right? Granted I said 150, but your inference was that neither the Fabia nor Ibiza were available with that kind of power. Most if not all 1.9TDi's with more than 110PS are the "Pump Düse" engine aren't they?

 

[Arran]

SportKa?

 

[RalphyBMW]

Incredibly juicy, and they rot! Plus awful turning circle.

stop babbling and pay attention.

the PD engines are a superior engine to the slightly older VAG TDI engines. the main difference is the injecters have their own fuel pumps on the fuel rail and use swirl pots to inject the fuel into the cylinders.

the old TDI engines are the 90hp and the 110hp

the PD engines are the 100,115,130,150, 160 and 170 hp engines.

i got 306 lbs ft of torque out of a PD 115 engine, if you know your PD engines you will know how hard that is.
