Title: why are.......
Post by: Jay w on 28 July 2007, 15:37:05
Most modern diesels 1.9?

I know it sound like one of those curveball type questions but it got me thinking because i am in a Skoda Octavia hire car currently and it's a 1.9 TDi 110bhp engine (goes really well)

Now i know that all the Skoda/seat/VW engines are the same, but even vaux. ford, renault/citroen all seem to be this size.

Is it chance or is it some silly like the bore/stroke is idea for the compression it is running at?

any ideas

I drive a Skoda Superb 1.9 130 bhp company car and it goes like snot, I picked this car through choice as it was far superior to the mondeos, lagunas citrons etc that i test drove.

I must also say I have had it 3 years and done 80,000 miles with not a single problem. :y :y

Great car.

But I love my Miggy more.  ;D ;D

 :-/Are they based on the 1905cc diesel that was in almost everything a few years ago? :)

Ive been looking at replacing the wifes Rover weisel with a VW/Audi weisel because they can easily be chipped to 200bhp :o
