How is the 1.2 tsi engine?

[mike 111]

I have a 1.2 DSG on order and having driven diesels for many years, just a couple of questions on the petrol engine.

At 70mph in 7th gear what revs are showing.

In sport mode what is the max revs on gear change.

Hi!

70 Mph should be around 2600 RPM in 7th gear, well below 3000 anyway.

The point where the gearbox changes to a higher gear is totally dependant of the throttle postion. Floor it and keep it there, and even in D the engine will rev up to redline! Driving my normal style (where D rarely gets over 2KRPM S changes at just over 3KRPM, more throttle and the engine revs higher.

For comparison, the CR140TDI DSG does about 2100rpm at 70mph.

my Leon 170 tdi CR does 2000rpm in 6th at 70mph.

just watch the oil'....skoda mech told me today its normal for this car to use 1litre per 1000 miles!!!!!!!....mines had to be refilled 3 times in 6000 miles!....not good imo'...and a shame for such a fine driving car

[the_raz]

That seems to vary a lot between cars. I have added a total of 1 liter of oil over 10 000 kilometers, but this is certainly something to keep your eyes open for. Our previous car (Roomie 1.9 TDI) also consumed some oil during the first 10K km, but none after that.

Hi!

70 Mph should be around 2600 RPM in 7th gear, well below 3000 anyway.

That figure seems a little bit high.

My Yeti 1.2 TSI with DSG gear box runs just above 2000 rpm at 100 km/h indicated speed (96 km/h "real speed" according to the GPS). A 70 mph indicated speed (112.65 km/h) should give just below 2300 rpm. (approx. 2360 rpm at real speed 70 mph). All in 7:th gear.

What´s the equivalent figures for the manual version of th 1.2 TSI? Some one who knows?

Speed (km/h at different gears).

I calculated it by knowing the max speed 173,2 km/h at 4850 RPM measured during a test performed by the magazine "Al volante" and the ratios of the gears (from 1 to 6): 3,615 1,954 1,281 0,973 0,777 0,646.

In my opinion this table is very close to reality.

OK, thanks for that info. Seems that revs at 100 km/h is about 300 rpm higher in the manual version than the DSG in top gear then

[the_raz]

That figure seems a little bit high.

My Yeti 1.2 TSI with DSG gear box runs just above 2000 rpm at 100 km/h indicated speed (96 km/h "real speed" according to the GPS). A 70 mph indicated speed (112.65 km/h) should give just below 2300 rpm. (approx. 2360 rpm at real speed 70 mph). All in 7:th gear.

/Stephan

That could well be correct. I just told my gut feeling, and that was well below 3000 KRPM. Since we don't have limits of 70 mph (or 112 kkm/h) in Finland I've not been driving that speed for any length of time, but rather 100 and 120 instead.

Edit: typos

I had my test drive today and, well i really liked it so i have ordered one. I thought it was going to be a big step down for my 170 tdi, but around town there really isnt much difference. Also on the motorway its fine up to 80mph and didnt seem to struggle even up the steepest hill i know, it held quite nicely at 70mph all the way up and felt it could sit at that speed all day.

Thanks again for the advise.

[jaykicksass]

Also can anyone tell me which petrol it should take? Ron 95 or Ron 97? because I know that the fabia 1.4 100bhp should take the premium 97 ron petrol.

Thanks

[HKPhooey]

Congratulations - it's a cracking little engine in a great car. I was impressed after the test drive and 12000 miles later I can honestly say I've never questioned choosing that engine. Most people are amazed when they find out it's a: petrol and b: only 1.2 litre!

Ours has always been run on 95 Ron and as you say goes like a little train, it's surprising how easily it'll get into 3 figures - even fully loaded!

It'll run well on the 10% ethanol unleaded they have on the Continent too.

Edited 30 January, 2011 by HKPhooey

[the_raz]

Agree. Our run on 95, and since beginning of this year 95 with 10% ethanol in it.

Sorry to put up a 10 months old topic, but my 1.2 SE Yeti likes to drink a lot, more than 10 litres on highway at cca 130 km/h in VI gear. What are your experiences ?

Our 1.2 SE is the 7 speed DSG and has averaged 42mpg since new.

This is about 5.5 litres per 100km.

But we don't drive fast, otherwise it would be less.

I think it really depends, I am averaging 40 mpg with a mixture of driving and roads.

I drove down from the North to London after the storm when it remained very windy, I was driving quicker than normal and it returned about 33 mpg on the motorway.

However, on a good run, doing about 65 mph, I could manage around 50 mpg easily.

I know this is an old post, but thought I would give it a shot :-)

 

Looking for someone in kindda' the same situation as me and wondering if the 1.2 tai in a Yeti is big enough an engine:

 

We go camping every summer in sourthern europe - meaning a lot of long trips up and down german, italian, swiss and french motorways hills

 

We are two adult and three kids (aged 7, 4 and 1) and carry everything in the car (large and heavy tent, camping furniture and so on)

 

We took our current Roomster (1.4 16V petrol) last year, and it was in no way a pleasant trip. Loosing speed uphill and in instance we almost couldn't leave the campsite, because of a steep hill

 

therfore: wold the 1.2 tsi be enough or should I try locate a used 1.4 tsi?

 

/jesper

[marcusthehat]

Is there going to be enough room in a Yeti?

For 5 plus  the tent and camping gear as described above.

During our Euro camping years with 2 children we ran a BX estate and then a Ford Galaxy.......................with a roof box.

Or could I be really cheeky and wonder are you naturists?............................................thereby,saving room on packing cloths.

Marcus

PS

To be sensible, coming from the rightly famed, and mildly "tweeked"   VW 1.9TDI in the Galaxy, and being a diesel nut through and through and through.

I was absolutly astounded at how the YETI drove with the 1.2TSI, 3 up, but only in an urban setting.

Gutsy, gutsy, gutsy.

I never stalled it once, it drove like a torquy diesel.

This was a manual.

I would imagine with the dry 7 speed DSG, it would be very very good.

Like the relatively small, and apparently gutless 1.6TDI in our Octavia DSG, the DSG transmission makes very good use of all the power and torque available.

For most any normal driving.

Though we dont do much high speed, continious, holiday laden Continental/Alpine Motorway  driving any more.

However, now I remember our 4 weeks/6000 miles in 2011 proved the limited horsepower/DSG combination to be absolutly faultless, and never "wanting"

cheers
