Pardon my ignorance but can anyone tell me whether the Skoda Fabia VRS motor denoted as a 1.4l 132tsi i think with super and turbo charger is bacically the same motor with likely similar problems? I was thinking of maybe looking at buying one?

And the same engine that is in the Polo GTI
Same cavd engine but only really seems to give trouble in the highly tuned versions like in the polo gti. I'd play it safe and stay away or do more research as Vw has changed the engine code from cavd to cthd denoting a change to the engine. Maybe cthd deals with the oil burning issues in the higher output versions.

It not only applies to TSI118 owners, but owners of all 1.4L engines, as the new 1.4L is a completely new engine with virtually nothing in common with the old 1.4L except bore spacingsQuote:
