Folks, need some advice.
I am currently in possession of a 2009 Vw Polo 1.4tdi . Its very basic and im not too gone on it.
Im after findind out that I could sell it and buy the 2010 model for the same money, the only difference is that it'll have a couple of thousand more km's than whats on mine!

Does anyone know what the 1.6tdi engine is like in the 2010 model car or what they are like to drive?
(Thanks in advance!)

*These are photos from google, mine is a black 5dr with no alloys - the 2010 i'd be interested in would be similar to the second photo

Find it difficult to believe you'll get a GTI a year younger for the same money as a bog spec 1.4. But this is Ireland. And this is not the best thread for that kinda question. Try a new thread in the buying forum.

Sorry I meant to say that its not the GTI model im after, just the standard 1.6tdi but as a 3dr in white.. Probably not the right thread to put it in, but im sure ill find elsewhere

No, the newer polo is a 1.6tdi, they just posted a photo of the GTI

The vag 1.6tdi engine is very good certainly a lot better than the 1.6 Psa. Ok power wise not going to win any races but that's hardly the point of it. They are very very good on diesel even tipping around. What bhp are they in the polo no doubt they are detuned and not 105bhp

Just done a cartell.ie report on both my 2009 model & a 2010 model found online.

2009; 1.4 TDI 80BHP
2010; 1.6 TDI 75BHP

Kind of a shock to see that it has less BHP, but it does have a bigger engine :pac:

But the 1.4.!! Is that not a 3 cylinder?

Yes it is, and it sounds like its about to throw a conrod.

Did you not have one if these in a cordoba?

I had indeed.
Some rattle off it when ticking over. Was able to shift handy enough for a small engine and was damn economical.

I found the 1.6tdi actually feels an awful lot slower to drive than the older 1.4. The 1.4 is very noisy but you could still certainly hear the 1.6's engine noise in the cabin.

You're right in saying the 9n2 polo is very very dull, but in reality although the 2010 onwards model is styled a little better on the outside, the interior is still very bland.

Selling your 9n2 and buying a 2010 1.4 diesel fiesta would be nice imo.

Engine is very loud in the Polo. The Mondeo engine is like a mouse compared to it :pac:

Really? Im heading to Kilkenny tomorrow so im hoping to test-drive one and see what its like. The 1.4 engine is ridicolously loud, very irritating.

The good side about the 1.4 engine is that it is very very economical. €50 into the tank and it'll bring me from Tipperary, up to Antrim and then back. The fuel light usually comes on when i'm driving in the driveway :pac:

The Fiesta is nice too, but I kind of want to move away from Ford's (Have a Mondeo atm, recently had a '00 Fiesta)
No doubt that I will be considering a Fiesta when im making my decision!

They're a fantastic looking car, that blue is far better than the traditional white imo.

Took Gapford out for a spin earlier while the weather is still nice. You'll have to excuse the bodywork atm, really have no time to sort it / and I can't find the correct paint anywhere, or indeed the paint code. Running sweet as ever.

I live about 3 km from that garage and avoid it at all costs wouldn't go to it unless I'm really stuck for parts I normally try buy parts in vw carlow or cork. My parents have had way too many bad experiences there. Is there not a fairly good vw garage in tip.
