Been averaging about 44mpg in my 86ps 1.2tsi SE hatch, 18months from new. Interestingly, filled it with Shell V power last time (curious!), done about 200 miles so far on that tank (with more town driving) and it's showing just under 47mpg; I'm not aware that my right foos's any lighter with this tank either!

Garpat, would you mind telling where you got it wrapped and how much. Thanx

Test drove the Fabia VRS last weekend, just used DSG. Been used to Avensis 2.2diesel with 150 brake and 250 lb/ft torque but this was like the starship Enterprise going to warp. Need to find some money so I can trade in my 86BHP SE. :-(

If you go to saga' get a quote then ask to go to the customer service/retention team for a better price

Exactly. Did that with fogs and driving lights on my mk2 escort and mark 3 cortina in the early 80s. Seen OEM fogs on flea bay for £50ish a few weeks ago. Wire them into the blank for heated seats?

I agree with Wonky; low down torque is good - pulls well all the way from 1500 thru to 3500, makes it easy to drive, quite diesel-like. See if you can get a centre armrest too either dealer or self fitted, some dont like them but it has improved things for me - been used to one in bigger cars :-)

Dash looks good 32K.How did you get the piano black on the vent surrounds etc? Is it just a case of unclip, prime and spray? Mine is still in warranty - would that be affected by painting? How difficult to remove the trim?

Correct me if Im wrong but doesnt the A1 1.4 only have a turbo?????

Cheers buys

Neverhad deflectors on a car before. How do they fit? Any idea how much the heko ones are

Agree re cost of climate also read posts that its not a very good system. Correct re retrofit of climate can't change manual controls to electronic' except maybe at great cost and full dash out

How about rain sensing wipers too?

IMO are a little bit too black- in retrospect wish I'd got climate fitted to look better- does anyone know if those from say a Citigo or Polo with the chrome detailing are interchangeable; if so, what sort of cost and how easy to change. Retrospect is a wonderful thing!!!!!!! :-) Cheers guys

Mine has manual a/c. Never had any problems. Any misting clears quickly with fan on max and directed to screen, even if a/c turned off.. Condensation (water droplets on screen) obviously takes longer. Clears 200% better than my wifes's Jazz. Would agree with clearing whatever dealer smears the screen with though

1.2tsi 86ps. October 2012 with 16500 miles - so far no problems - pulls nice and strong from 2k-3krpm. Understand it is not a high pressure turbo.
