Nice car Tunnie - 150 or 190 engine? (You probably said, I probably missed it)
I'm averaging ~50mpg in mine so you should better that with the manual box by at leat 5mpg, maybe 10 if it's the lower HP version.
Heated front screen is a nice addition (and as you've found it's far from just Ford - heck, I can buy one for the kit car! Ford appear to have licensed the technology to just about anyone who'll pay.. oddly enough), loved it on the truck and will miss it on the Skoda.
Thanks
CC comes in 130 and 170 form, mine is the 130. I've been searching and can't find conclusive differences on the 130/170. Appears to be injectors and maybe the turbo? Not just engine mapping
- I figured if I wanted to, I could map it, being a manual should not be an issue. Has enough go for me at the moment, shall see.
It needs a damn good service, dealer serviced every 17k or so in the paperwork.
I plan to give it an oil change, air filter and pollen filter myself. But I'm nervous about doing the fuel filter, seen some suggest pre-soak but others advise it must be primed via VCDS/VAGCOM first.
Also need to book it in for a cam belt and water pump change, to be on the safe side.
