UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

looking for a new car, preferbly a 90bhp sel but 75 is also an option

hit me!...nothing more than 8k though please...and i have a polo for part ex if interested

thanks

The 1.6 SEL is plagued with DPF problems....the 1.2 is probably a safer choice!

I was gonna get a 1.6 but have since gone off the idea lol

Well yeah, there is that lol

Yessss thats what im going to do anyway if i get one.

i would never go for a 1.2 tdi as im bored of my 1.4 and thats 80hp.

but im sure 1.2 would have dpf on it too? as its bluemotion

The 1.2 tdi is surprisingly nippy as its got way more torque than a petrol equivalent - it isnt that far off what the GTI has really

The 1.2 TDI and the 1.2 TDI bluemotion both have DPF filters, but they dont suffer with the same problem. The 1.6 was riddled with software faults causing the DPF to not regenerate properly.

ahh nice to know, but i know its 0-60 in 14 seconds. My 1.4 80 is 12.9 and its gutless lol

i was considerig a 9n3 130 at first then fell in love with the 6r

Yeah, rather high 0-60 but it really doesnt feel that bad, even compared to my Polo GTI.

Its the difference in torque that gives it more guts lol

or maybe its just your mind thinking its quick for a 1.2 diesel lol

That's the only thing with the 6r, there's no fast diesel like the 9n3. I love the shape of the 6r but couldn't change as there's no equivalent engine.

Agreed. Ibiza FR TDI wouldnt be a bad choice tho?

ive seen a nice 9n3 130 tdi, but the shape of the 6r has won me over. id rather go for looks than speed, agree?
