Evening all,

Looking for a new car, fancy an Octavia. Found this place to get some background info. Petrol (vRs) or Diesel (TDi)... are the extra costs worth it?!?

Hello & welcome!!

I have a Fabia vRS but if I had a choice, I'd go for the TDi Octavia.

Hope the site brings you lots of information.

Ben

Hello and Welcome too

Yup, I agree.

I have an 06 plate 2.0 TDi 140, done 30,000 only had 1 service NO tyres, 44 to 50 mpg

and for around 500 quid or less for a dragon box you can chip it to 180 bhp approx

Lovin it

Welcome :wave:

Welcome to Briskoda

Cheers gents.

Chance to look around now I'm at work and the misses isn't watching! Hopefully changing jobs soon to more money but more travel (80+ miles a day). I'm driving a Golf TDi at the mo getting 550/600 Miles for 50 L of the good stuff. Chipped it giving me good mpg and extra 'umph' so know that chips aren't just full of grease!

Got a feeling I'd be skint if I changed to Petrol but still tempted... Here starts the research! What sort of mpg are Petrol vRS owners looking at (before fuel drinking mods!)?
