Re: An owner's review of the VW 1.2L MPI engine

Opportune time for posting the review with the Ameo around in the 1.2 avatar. With sensible pricing, decent fuel economy and relaibility it might take off although refinement is not a match.

I know that a 1.2/1.4 turbo charged engine can easily compete with a 1.8 NA and the 1.2 inherently delivers better FE, but all I am saying is that one can extract more FE from a turbo charged engine because of its early peak torque delivery. This is a reason that the turbo charged engines have a smaller RPM band to play with.
I think this point is valid only for Highways . My Audi 1.8 TSI gives me 16 kms to a litre on my Mumbai Pune drives while it drops to 8 within city .

I was wondering if there's scope for extracting even more power from this Engine. I would love to have my Fabia 1.2HTP in a higher state of tune. What could be the pros and cons of modifying for more power? I was hoping if this 3cyl can be turbo charged

[quote=abhishek46;3997531]Thanks!

By the way, there is an option to reduce Engine sound to some extent in VW Polo1.2 MPI, which i recently got to know from fellow BHPian.
Fitment of TDI's engine insulation cover on the petrol's bonnet (which is a direct fit).

I’ve installed the under bonnet insulation in my polo 1.2 mpi. It definitely improves nvh levels by around 20-30%.

Re: An owner's review of the VW 1.2L MPI engine

Hi,

I have 1.2 MPI and have done around 28K in 2.2 years.
Recently I travelled to Bangalore from Hyderabad and have noticed a bit of an odd pattern.

I am in top gear and going at 120, and then need to brake hard coming down to 60.
Then if i open up throttle the engine response is very linear from 1.5K RPM to 2.5K RPM.
Beyond that it has power on tap. But between 70 and 90 kmph at 2k to 2.2k rpm, the response is very very flat.
Is this correct behavior or am i losing engine refinement.
I did service just 2 months ago

Re: An owner's review of the VW 1.2L MPI engine

I drive a 1.6MPI on Skoda Rapid which also finds its place in Vento except for the Highline Plus variants.

I can agree with all your points except for one, I rev range performance. The power surge is felt up to 5500 RPM. It's rev friendly and the four-cylinder note is pleasant to ears. Other characteristics seem similar to 1.2MPI which I believe it's the characteristics for VW's NA engine's. It's definitely noisy, but the cabin is well insulated here.
