1,4 TDi guter Motor? | Posts 16+

The torque dip can be very well masked with a chip. Then, there's already a good amount of power from 1600 RPM, and above all, the torque develops evenly. However, the downside is that you have to accept some soot between 1800 and 2200 RPM if you want an absolutely even torque curve. It's a matter of personal preference what's more important to someone.
However, even when driving at low speeds, the engine performs better than other TDIs without a variable geometry turbocharger, unless the air conditioning is turned on. Then, until around 1300 RPM, the thrust feels a bit weak.
I rarely need to exceed 1600 RPM in the city, and I'm definitely not driving slowly.

hi meinolf,
The AMF isn't for everyone, that's for sure. It's definitely not boring. I don't know of any other vehicle that produces so much power with so little fuel. With a chip tuning, I get: 5.3 liters on average, 190 km/h at 4500 rpm, and according to the diagnostic, 264 Nm of torque at 2300 rpm. Unfortunately, I also experienced worn-out 4th and 5th gears after only 30,000 km in one year (grinding noises between acceleration and cruising).
best regards, jörg

HI,

Just to add, I can confirm the experiences mentioned above. My fuel consumption is 5.6 liters, driving 70% on the highway at an average speed of 150 km/h. However, on the highway, it drops to between 4.3 and 4.6.

Specifically regarding the Polo, I can recommend: www.polo9n.com
