seem to show a new 1.0 engine meeting EU6 where as the existing engine in the citigo meets only EU5

 

will it make it into the citigo?

 

and what else? the new fabia 3?

When I was looking to buy new recently the Skoda dealer told me all orders from May 26th would feature some engine changes (as well as the list price going up about £500), but he didn't have specific details, maybe it's this?

be interesting to see if the economy figures etc change in the brouchures

It's about time that VAG stopped ripping we triplets owners off by charging hundreds of pounds extra for Bluemotion (VW) Greentech (Skoda) and Ecomotive (Seat)?  Maybe these new Skoda-built EU6 engines will all be sub 100gm/km of CO2 just like Toyota, Citroen and Peugeot are doing with the new Aygo, C1 and 108 respectively?  (See below in blue)  All their standard manual models using the 1.0 litre engine are rated at 95gm/km while the Eco model (equivalent to Greentech etc) is rated at 89gm/km.

 

"Athough the 1.0 VVT-i is fundamentally the same unit as used by its predecessor, it’s been thoroughly reengineered for the new model. A higher compressions ratio of 11.5:1, a new low-friction timing chain and a cylinder head with built-in exhaust manifold to save weight have all helped to improve fuel efficiency and cut emissions.

Fuel economy and CO2 emissions have improved by 3.3mpg to 69mpg and 4g/km to 95g/km of CO2 in the five-speed manual model, while the x-shift auto returns 67.3mpg and 97g/km. An eco model is also planned with stop-start fitted as standard, capable of returning 72mpg and 89g/km of CO2."

The Citigo engine is the new generation and has had great reviews. I am not sure what needs to be done to make EU6 but the Citigo engine going into the new Polo is EU6 so any tweaks will probably follow. There was an article in Autocar this week about this engine being made by Skoda now but not sure where it was made previously! It will definitely go into the new Fabia and be EU6. Andy.
