Going to have a power run done on my octavia vrs using rotatest equipment which bolts on to the hubs and is more accurate than a normal rolling road.But for the readings to be accurate operator requires gear ratios/final drive ratio, have checked haynes manual but cant find , can anybody oblige?

My best suggestion is to find out which gear(s) the operator wants to work in, and back-calculate the overall gear ratio from observation of road and engine speed in that gear. In any event he only wants these data in order to calculate a nominal flywheel figure from the wheel figures he's actually measuring.

Gear ratios/mph per 000 for RS as follows:

1st = 3.3/6.2

2nd = 1.94/10.5

3rd = 1.31/15.6

4th = 1.03/19.8

5th = 0.84/24.3

Final drive ratio is 3.647

Therefore max speed at 7k is

1st = 43

2nd = 74

3rd = 109

4th = 139

5th = 170.1

4x4

1st----3.780--- 4.8

2nd---2.060--- 8.87

3rd---1.360--- 13.5

4th---1.030--- 17.8

5th---0.840--- 21.8

Final drive: 3.940

Max mph @ 6k

1st = 28.8

2nd = 53.2

3rd = 79.2

4th = 106.8

5th = 130.8

Thanks for that

no worries

Don't suppose you've got TDi 110 numbers to go with those, have you?
