    Nice engine that with a map from Revo, Jabbasport, AMD you should be looking at 170 bhp and loads of trq. Thats what was great about the PD 130 engine it had like 239 ft lbs trq at 1980 rpm. Trouble was (similar to all Vag dervs) it tails off pretty quickly also. A map will smooth it out no problems.
    Thats the one mate yeah the 130bhp PD engine, i worked for VW at the time these engines were released and it was the start of them moving away from the old style diesels and the common rail revolution so i know a bit about them helped me choose one. Yeah your right about the power it comes in one big burst. Ill have a look at remaps/bluefin etc once i have the keys in my hand

    Don't forget though, if it's a PD it isn't common rail. About the same power as a CR engine would have, a bit less refinement though.

    The PD engines may be a little older but I believe they are far more reliable than most CR units also. Especially the early VAG CR units with DPF units.

    I had my VRS running 210 bhp at one stage and it never skipped a beat.

    Hi i traded in my previous Vectra sri 150 (55 plate) for an 08 plate Ibiza Fr years ago. They are great wee cars but i found that the suspension was too firm on the roads in Lanarkshire & i also found the car to be too small after i bought it, I think this was because i've always had bigger cars.
    On the plus side you'll easily get 55mpg from the car as standard.
    I only had mine for 3 months & traded it in for a Passat which i had for a year. I've had my current Vectra for just over a year & a half now.
    When i traded mine in the salesman said the other 3 dr Ibiza Fr that they had for sale had been remapped for sale & it was frighteningly quick.
