Video [Essaie] Octavia II RS TFSI VS TDI - Skoda, Octavia, vRS, RS, TFSI - Dailymotion Share Your Videos

Not sure what to make of that, my Czech is not that good!

not sure where but have seen that linked in another thread

Interesting ish... Anyone able to translate roughly??

Interesting in what the comparison is like between the Petrol & Diesel during a race.....I haven't a feckin clue what they are saying either

red was petrol, yellow diesel, they were testing which is better -

they raced 0-100km, petrol wins

then I think 80Km - max, again petrol wins

then they measured level of sound in different speeds, accelerating from 80km in 4th and 130km in 6th

sound levels about the same but they thought subjectively it felt that diesel is louder...

then they tried how it sits on the road .... I doubt the chap in yellow knows how to drive it ), he claims that diesel is 30kg (60 lb) heavier and that extra weight is all in the front, hence bad behaviour in bends...

he claims that diesel is 30kg (60 lb) heavier ...

it is..................see page 4 here

I could be wrong but seeing as the engine is the only difference then that must be where all the extra weight is.

So it's as we already knew really then.....

Petrol is best!!! :P

TBH the guy in the yellow car was "giving it beans" one handed and the start was shocking.

Either way.
