People say paying for mods costing 4x times the value of the car is stupid🤷🏼….but if you have been daily driving a pd130 asz ….you’ll understand why it’s worth it….a pd130 asz engine is absolutely bullet proof…the use a cat …not a dpf….they have a cable handbrake…they share and use the same parts from anything in the VAG….they are highly tuneable and they easily reach 500000miles if maintained regularly…even stage1 tuned pd130s are reliabley capable of reaching 500000miles…if serviced properly…the mk4 pd130s….we’re over engineered….I own a 2003 mk4 vw bora 1.9 tdi sport pd130 asz….it’s had 6 owners…no service history…and currently on 278000 miles….it pulls like a train…averages 50mpg…doesn’t smoke or burn oil…buying a cheap pd130 and tuning it is a cheap tuner enthusiasts perfect project👍

When the mods are 10x the value of the car 😀 Love it when he asks a Yorkshire man to wipe the bill lol Don't think so..... Nice mods. In real driving, throttle response and good driveability are at least as satisfying as raw power. I would guess 200bhp and loads of torque is probably the sweet spot in something Fabia sized 👍

@lazycarper Год назад
is it true that there are remaps that can be put on with just mpg in mind, im looking at fabia and octavia , probably the octavia, and my goal is to get me a very good fuel costs car, and im told that they can really be improved on fuel with a remap, however, my guess is when cars are tuned up a little, that some drivers may, then take it more easy on a long run to make sure the extra power isnt using more fuel, hence it might not make it more economic to run in reality, can you guys tell me what can be done if any to improve mpg, thanks
@DarksideDevelopments
@DarksideDevelopments Год назад
We don't normally look into mpg figures, mostly power figures. Similar specs to the one in this video often leave with 40-50 mpg average, sometimes more, even after having some fun with it. With careful tuning and removal of some restricting parts, mpg can be maintained or slightly increased even

There are plenty of good diesels under 10k, just depends what you like. Our Mini was under 10k when we got it and went from 170bhp to 209bhp on a remap. Then we went full track mode but it's still a mint daily
