Hi all - Has anybody info regarding the possible Octavia II engine change: 2lt 103kw TDI from PD to CRI/ EU5. ( not the vrs 125kw, which is a CRI engine) Seems a bit weird wasn't changed at face lift time. VW haven't used this for 3yrs now.

I think the engine is going into the Superb in March and following into the Octavia later in the year.

The CR is already in use and has been for some time (before the facelift).

The CR engine has been in the Octavia since about August/September 2008

Only in the VRS I think

indeed only the vRS has the 2.0TDi CR I think most people are waiting for the 2.0TDi CR 140 to be put in the Octavia.

Ive just ordered a PD as there are just too many rumours, many are saying it might be the 1.6 in the Octy & dates seem to be end of this year. The PD for me is a known entity & will have a lot more grunt that the 1600

For everybody's info - have been told the 103kw TDI is going to CRI in August this year.
