Is 2.0 TDi worth extra over 1.9 TDi?

Featured Replies

I wouldn't recommend chiping it. It decrease its lifetime considerably. If that engine (1.9 TDi) is designed for 135 hp, Skoda would sell it that way, but they sell it with 110 hp for a good reason.

CHEERS!

well, actually current 1.9 TDi is 105 HP. the version in the Mk1 was available in 90, 110 or 130 and, I belive 150 in VW guise, so reckon chipping a 1.9 to 135 hp would be no real problem.

The two wheel drive versions only have a five speed

The two wheel drive 2.0 TDI has a six speed box

I had a 1.9Tdi for 18 months till i changed jobs, I then picked up a 2.0Tdi.

There is a huge difference in economy (the way i drive anyway) however the 2.0 is far smoother (once you get used to the power delivery) and much much quicker, Even sith is a viable gear for A roads and overtaking.

If your not bothered about overtaking other cars in the same group then stick to the 1.9, your tires will last a lot longer too.

When I buy another one I will would go for the 2.0Tdi possibly VRS although i do like the creature comforts of the Elegance

When you take the cars fot a test drive have a play in 2nd in the 2.0 for some turbo fun that you just dont get in the 1.9

As for is it worth the extra
