i've heard that alot, about them putting 140 out rather than 130. i've seen it in magazines etc. weird 

but cool

Defo

So i have a TDI 140 then 

[Rhyso]

think one member on here had a 150PD and put it on the rollers; put out near 180bhp or something along those lines!

Always handy having an extra 10bhp for nowt    whether or not the rolling roads are accurate are always open to speculation but if they are out (which is most likely) at least it gives a higher number so there's more chance of the car putting out what the manufacturer claims!

Got a feeling that AWX denotes the engine code.

I think Bluefox has a Skoda Fabia VRS so it's pretty much the same engine as the 130 ASZ found in the Golf (as far as I'm aware!)

Incidentally I've got a 130 and just use the standard filter; seems fine with that; both rolling roads I've been on show her to be putting out 144 and 140 (obviously take the results with a pinch of salt!)

Yeah, AWX is the engine code - but I've actually got a Skoda Superb 130 TDI, my mum's got a Fabia VRS.
Incicentially, my engine's mounted north-south and mum's is east-west, so I'll assume the Fabia's engine is very similar to the Golf's. Did the ASZ have a six-speed box?
Ryhso, thought you'd had yours remapped recently?

yeah ASZ has a 6 speed box 

not had it remapped; building up my no-claims at the moment as insurance is a bit of a killer    also want to sort the handling out first before i try putting any more power through the front wheels

i'm going to resurrect this thread as my car's due for a server in a few weeks at which point the air filter is going to be replaced, so naturally I'm thinking get a 'performance' panel filter 

so what's the best to go for on the TDI's the oiled K&N or the dry green cotton?

price wise they are both about the same ~ £50

[Rhyso]

think the dry cotton one is your best bet.  Oiled filters tend to screw up the MAF in next to no time.

Haven't you learnt anything!!?? 

[Ridg]

Haven't you learnt anything!!?? 

yeah changing pretty much anything can fook the MAF up 

i'll have a look round the web and find out where the best place to get a green cotton one from is then, unless anyone has other recommendations for a dry filter
