Hey guys, I'm a new owner of a 1.6 Diesel with the 128HP engine and was wondering if anyone actually knows what is the difference in the slightly more powerful engine to produce 136HP? The reason I'm asking is because I've had a Racechip Ultimate installed in mine and while it makes a big difference, the higher output engine can squeeze even more ponies out when you look at the Racechip site so it makes me wonder..Do they use different injectors perhaps?
As for driving impressions I must say, I tend to drive the car more in Semi/Auto and change gears myself as it feels more responsive but I miss the paddle shifters from my old Golf GT Tdi Sport. I am yet to use the Ultimate mode in the Racechip but when I do I should be getting somewhere close to the 170HP that the Golf had(theoretically at least). So far I've put about 9000 kms on the clock in just a few months and it is quick, 3rd & 4th gears are my faves
with a tendency to accelerate up hills and defy gravity
I don't exactly baby it and yet it's sitting on ~5.3-5.5l/100kms and that's city and lots of highway combined, only problem is I want more power sigh..
