Re: New actuator for a 2013 1.2 tsi ( and maybe turbo )


It's just a little non return valve, it won't cause any issues for driving. Other than it's letting oil mist out of the crankcase. It's a "known problem" on the 1.2Tsi CBZ engines they are just flimsy and not up to the job. I replaced mine 3-4 years back and it's been fine since. I just check it ...

Re: Polo R-line 105ps reading 130ps

Owners of other cars with the 1.2 TSI engine have reported getting 115-120bhp when the car has been rolling-roaded in factory trim.

However, 130bhp, is more surprising - could well be rolling road being a bit more optimistic in that instance.

Having owned an R-Line for 2.5 years, I've always been ...

Re: Polo R-line 105ps reading 130ps

German law around cars adhering to their advertised output is quite strict, so I have heard for years that VAG cars come out of the factory with more than the advertised BHP to ensure they don't fall foul of it and also that they'll be putting out the advertised power for years to come.

Having ...
