    That engine can be an absolute dog of a yoke once it gets over 200K, Octavia's suffer the same fate...
    200k from a small, underpowered engine in a heavy(ish) car is probably not bad going.
    Plus, they’ll usually get through fuel quicker than a 1.6 or 1.8 in the same car because they have to work harder.

    Would never have been a fan of the VW petrol engine, always felt it was killing itself to stay af a steady speed

    Ye I had the 1.4 engine for a while. One day I had myself driving with 2 x 100kg passengers. I had the A/C on that day (in Brisbane).
    Anyway came up to a busy junction and as I was pulling out i had to turn off the A/C mid turn as it was taking so long to gain any speed. Quite scary tbh.

    Was quite fun to run around in though

    Red D and I! Does it really mean anything significant though? I used to think it represented BHP. But I am not so convinced now...

    Edit: No just red I.. You're right.. God damn eye drops! :D

    It is tricky to see alright. Reflection from the brake light maybe.

    If I remember correctly....

    TD red I is 115bhp
    T red DI is 130bhp

    Thought it was all the same colour 90bhp
    Red I 110 and red di 130 ,

    As you say all silver 90 bhp, red I 110 bhp. The other incarnations only came after the facelift in 2001, in some cases all three were red!! These were actually lower bhp than other engines, the only definitive way to determine bhp is by engine code, at this stage it's mostly irrelevant, the condition of the car being more important than anything else.

    Shame it isn't leather as it's a lovely looking car, he'll be plagued to death with last price merchants from eastern europe.

    High miles and ex taxi of course but it actually looks quite tidy. Respectable looking car for the money.

    how did it get an NCT when it is still registered as a taxi?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,519 ✭✭✭✭punisher5112


    how did it get an NCT when it is still registered as a taxi?

    Also it went to km on mileage....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,855 ✭✭✭✭bazz26


    You can see the shadow of the paint finish where the Taxi sticker used to be on both front doors, that and the steering wheel cover hiding the wear. That's pretty impressive mileage if it's actually 383k miles rather than km too.

    It has been reclassified as private in the last day or so seemingly

    Driver's seat has help up very well, you'd expect it to be in bits with that mileage

    Yeah the interior has held up well, I wonder was the driver's seat replaced? You can also see on the dashboard at the passenger side where the airbag is, left over sticky residue where the driver's ID and PSV license would have been located.
