Some news/info from the Czech Republic regarding Citigo engines:

 

- The engine blocks for the current NA 1.0s are cast in Mlada Boleslav and then shipped to Chemnitz in Germany for assembly, before going back east to Bratislava. A bit weird, as virtually the same 1.0 for the Citigo and Polo is fully built in MB but apparently other components used in Bratislava are also built in Chemnitz so they are then all shipped to Bratislava together. Maybe Skoda don't have the capacity to build all of them? Anyway... 

 

- The long awaited turbo version of the 1.0 engine should begin production next year in Mlada Boleslav for installation in the UpMiiGo, and possibly the Fabia and Rapid.

 

Hopefully they won't just put it in the up!

How much power does it produce?

 

Phil

110 bhp I posted this a whole ago.

The same engine that is in the new Polo

Not bad. So this must be the replacement for the 1.2 Tsi.

Great news. Let's hope it happens:)

It's not in the new Polo.. the 110 BHP engine in the Polo/Fabia is a 1.2.

 

I suppose the 1.0 Turbo will replace the 90BHP 1.2TSI.

Turbo Citigo? I'll take 3! 

Is that the same engine just announced in the Audi A1? That one produces 94 BHP so I suppose that will replace the 90BHP 1.2 TSI. Seems a lot of trouble producing a new engine only to be replaced so soon. 94 BHP will make the Citigo fly!

And with a turbo it can be easily chipped so what might we expect? 120bhp?

Nice

Excitement is rising now.

I have been to mlada bolslav and watched them make them

 

the turbo would be nice, chipped to 120bhp would make a proper little hot go-kart

 

maybe even temp ash away from her impending abarth.... but hang on... the abarth is 135bhp........ lowest. 190 bhp highest ..... hhmmmmmm

 

would make a nice "warm hatch" but not a hot hatch

 

certainly bee a nice option though! fun AND cheap running ? bargin

I believe this engine is in fact turbo & supercharged, which would be logical, providing sufficient power with no turbo lag and decent economy

I hope not as it'll be like the dreaded Fabia vRS

:(

If it goes as well as my Rapid Sport I'll be very happy with one

The 90bhp 1.2tsi will just be a detuned version of the 110bhp 1.2, which I'm sure they'll keep.

Here's the figures for this engine in the A1, pretty respectable and should be even better in the lighter upMiiGo: http://m.autocar.co.uk/car-review/audi/a1/first-drives/2015-audi-a1-10-tfsi-se-review

^^ nice find   I love the fact that skoda is making engines for audi lol... when I was in the factory at mlada boleslav, and watching them make engines, I asked the guide "so where does the twincharger in my vRS come from?" generally the only engine with problems in the fabia range... "thats made by audi in Germany" he says lol...

Motor 3-Cylinder

Turbocharger

999 cm³

81 kW (110 PS) 5.000 - 5.500 /min

200 Nm / 1500 - 4000 1/min

Euro 6

6 gears

0-60 in 9 seconds 122 mph top speed

That engine is going in the Polo and Golf with 110 bhp.

Can't remember where I read that no though ....

Before VW dropped the ball on it, the Up GT was 108bhp as standard, tuned i guess it could be 130-ish.

 

Depends if it's going to be the same components: http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evocarreviews/277864/volkswagen_up_gt_review.html

 

I can't see it happening sadly.

Me neither. If it goes in any of the three it will be the Up!

I'd be amazed if it's sold in a Citigo, though I'm sure Mr Fox might be tempted to get one in somehow.

If a TT engine fits a Up GT will fit :p

Id be very surprised if it makes it into citi/mii/up.. theres no market, direct competition for it.

 

As said above, and in the Autocar article, its a replacement for the 1.2tsi and go in fabia/polo etc.

New Twingo Renault sport?

Adam S?

Volkswagen will be missing a trick if they don't slot this engine into the UP/Citgo/Mii! Not everyone in this sector is looking for bargain basement, and a fun car that does not cost a bomb will surely sell. A warm citigo with the 94BHP 1.0 TFSI engine selling for £11k I will be very interested.

I imagine with that engine we could expect no less than £12-13.5k. £11 would be optimistic; a Greentech elegance with a few extras is £11k.
