The skoda fabia mk1 and mk2 1.4 tdi engines is there much difference in the next model to the old one?

 

The mk2 is that still easy to work on and fix?

 

When did the dpf and dual mass clutch start?

 

I know the mk1 had 1.4 tdi 70 75 80bhp engines.

 

 

Thanks

DPF didn't start until the Greenline 1.4 TDIs or the 1.6 TDIs of the FL Mk2. Unsure about DMF. 

 

Hope this helps.

To all extents should be considered the same engine for working on, the MK 2 model 1 had 70 and 80BPH, model 2, 3 and Greenline were 80BHP only. The ECU on the Greenline is an EDC17 which has to be opened up and mapped on a bench, unsure on the 1, 2 and 3 as these may be an EDC15 for which you can download and upload maps through the OBD2 port as on my MK 1 1.4TDI. I do not believe a DMF was fitted to any 1.4TDI. The Greenline has a taller ratio gearbox resulting in 30mph (@ 1700rpm) being best in 3rd gear unless you like to rattle the gears. Is the question due to you looking to upgrade - my MK 1 was also 70BHP and the Greenline is a leap forward in performance even though it only has 10BHP more, but the torque is about 114 vs 143 lb/ft with the 80BHP being at a much lower engine speed. Saying that I was impressed with the performance of my MK 1 70 which climbed/scurried over the Pennines every day to work. 

I'm happy with my 306 hdi and skoda 1.4 tdi.

 

Just looking at the future to see where things stand as I know things start to change with dpf, dmf and even add blue. These are the things I will stay clear of due to big problems I see regularly.

The mpg on the fabia1.4 tdi mk1 compared to the mk2?

Mk1...

Manufactures quoted figures are general totally inaccurate and should be dis-regarded in the real world as they do not take into account driving styles, road traffic conditions, actual roads - flat, hilly etc. Speaking with actual experience, my Greenline has averaged 53.2 mpg over 13745 miles (51.2 mpg over 55088 miles when it was my partners car) measured via actual fuel going in vs reported (how inaccurate is a tripmeter) mileage. Most of that distance to work/back would be classed as extra urban with a daily round trip of 52 miles so makes a mockery of the quoted figures for the most economical (Greenline) Fabia. Suffice to say, if you compare same powers - 70 or 80 bhp - which have basically the same engines and gearboxes, they should be the same as I would expect gearing to be the same - except the Greenline with its high ratio box.

Christ, you lot make driving sound so INTERESTING, do you have spreadsheets to map fuel consumption trends or do you do a simple moth count every time you open your wallet? 😄

I have a better idea. Drive it, add petrol (unless it's a diesel) when required. Problem solved.

Just drive it. And if it's a 1.4TDI MK1,and you don't do a lot of miles, don't forget to treat it like a DPF model and give it a once a week hoon of at least 10 miles. I've found that in over 15 years and 120k I get the same MPG whether I drive like Miss Daisy or bury my right foot and watch Fiesta man go backwards on corners.
