General question on engine horsepower
Diljit replied to Diljit's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Holy moly I didn't even notice that what the f*** is all that about. They actually put white on one side of the car. What the f*** is this all about? -

General question on engine horsepower
Diljit replied to Diljit's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Exactly what I was thinking. It must be done for some tax reason. They have detuned a 2 L engine. I presume it's the same block as the 2 L suburb engine. Just remind me what is the 4.0 that is kicking out 203 break horsepower. Is that also 2 L engine save his me looking it up. Bloody confusing. Thanks mate -

Audi A4 advant 2 L that engine I was looking at it should be 190 break horsepower but is advertised at 148 horsepower. Has it been electronically? Detuned to get into the tax brand for the UK but still the same engine they would put more or less in the Skoda. Superb 2 L which is kicking you out 190 horsepower -

Autotrader 2. L. Audi engine power 140 brake horsepower 2. L. TFSI 35 black edition if you go into performance 0.60. 8.9 seconds and the brake horsepower is definitely 148 break horsepower, I thought it would be the same engine roughly has the Skoda superb 2 l petrol which I think is kicking out 190 break horsepower just something that puzzled me. I thought I'd ask being that it would be the same engine. I've looked at a few numerous adverts on older trader with the 2 l Audi engine comes the same -

Ok then. So it's just done to get under certain regulations in certain countries. So this engine should be capable of at least 180 break horsepower just like the superb but done deliberately to get under tax regulations in the UK I thought it would be something like that but then just needed it confirmed. Would you know if the latest Skoda Octavia engines have gone to a wet belt and if they have what engines hopefully they haven't. Just a curious question -

I have a general question about a 2 l Audi engine which would be the same as a Skoda VW Passat Audi A4 my question is why is the 2 l in the Audi petrol engine only 150 break horsepower where as the superb 2 l is 190 break horsepower? I'm just curious why has Audi d tuned that engine? Is that not the same engine in the superb? Just a general question. I thought VW shared all its same engines in all four manufacturers

Camboat water pump and auxiliary belt and tensioners
Diljit replied to Diljit's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Jesus Christ, am I seeing that right? It's going to cost $1,100 just to do a camboat and water pump because there's a special tool that is outrageous. Good job. They've got a few years on them before they go. Wouldn't be a big problem. My son is a mechanic but what I f****** rip off -

Diljit replied to Diljit's topic in Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)
Publicbosed up my response but thanks for the input. On what you think I would probably do the same but visually inspected once a year as I will be only doing 4 .5,000 miles a year. Obviously technology has got better over the years -

Let's help. I'm doing this right. Thanks for the input. Exactly what I was thinking. Probably less. I would be only doing 4,500 miles a year. Isn't it amazing how we have been ripped off over the years but yes annual inspection. Thanks buddy Thank you for the input -

Always have trouble on replies. Anyway, give it another go. Thank you for the input. So you guys are reckoning it's a bit of a scam to do it 4 or 5 years but this is a great bitter news. Probably won't hang on now if a car drives ok. Thank you for the input. Let's all by get this right now -

Bobby, I've got to put that in. It's a 1.5 petrol vehicle. Has only done 14, 000 in mint condition but obviously sometimes they can deteriorate even if they're not been used. I'm very unfamiliar with this type of engine. I know on vauxhalls it was every 4 years
