Since there is no Skoda Forum, I just wanted to post this here.
I bought a Fabia 1.4 75 BHP 16v auto notchback. It's a nice car but is the 1.4 16v engine the same as the 100BHP version. If so why the hell Didnt they put the 2.0 or 1.416v 100BHP version to it. It's so F'kin slow. 0-60 in 17.3 and a top of 103 Is taking the P'ss. I mean 93lbs/ft of torq isnt so bad in a car of that size yet still it's so slow. I know autos are slower but it is niceley tuned and Is computerized (Based on Fuzzy Logic)and is allways willing to hit the red line for you, but why so slow!. Can anyone tell me why skoda would do this, and what i can do to make it go faster. I am actually 46 and have 3 kids. I am not a speedfreak but it struggles even in everyday driving. I have has suggestions of better air filter, Tuning Chips e.t.c, Do you have any suggestions?
P.S what is Clutch Lock, It does it in 3rd and fourth gear, Is this engine braking?
