difference between PD130 sport and PD130 FR is obv the FR styling like badges, wheels, logo and rear lights etc. but main difference is sport has longer gearing, personally I prefer short gearing in the diesel as it feels more eager and you're always 500rpm higher so always at the magical 2krpm

I think there are ALOT of differences between PD100 though, internals? clutch? brakes, turbo... guess same intercooler, but don't have much experience with the 100 :/

No. A simple remap will get a pd100 up to 130bhp, most likely more

 

[Lewis1600]

suppose...

ive planned on getting a remap anyway.

i have a mate who works in superchips so ill be giving him a visit soon haha

I know somebody who had a PD100 VW Bora remapped to just over 130bhp, best thing he ever did to it! Made it far more powerful and it still returned over 55mpg daily.

One guy got a PD100 lump to produce 200 Bhp!

devonutopia is running a pd100 fabia over 250 bhp

6 Speed gearbox in the 130. Get the 130 and remap to 170. Job done.

My soon to be traded in Octavia vRS has 170 horses, however it also has more weight than an Ibiza

When I test drove the FR I've bought, I'm sure it "felt" faster - however this could also be due to the fact that the Ibiza's engine is PD (all the torque is just given in one big fat lump) and my Octavia is CR based - smooth delivery.

Somehow I think I prefer the PD

Yes but look at what has been replaced in those pd100 they have far exceeded changing just the pd130 parts.

Test drove a 100 tdi and it went really well but somehow the 6 speed made the 130 feel more sporty in the lower gears.
