Im looking for a tidy diesel to replace my Cupra now that im a home owner, what do you guys think of these?

I know they arent super quick but ive heard a few companies can get them running between 110-120bhp which is respectable and they are different which i like!

doh. i read a review and it said there is a 100bhp and a 130bhp model. o well

ye I phoned them up and they told me 120k it looks a very nice car but it cant be worth more than £1400 even if it is 75k. you should go have a look at it as it looks gorgeous

Yeh thats the newer Cordobas.

I just phoned yeh 121k, im not paying nearly 2k for that I will buy a golf tdi instead lol :)

Does look tidy and I think the price is on the rarity value but at the end of the day the mileage is a fair wack

The Cordoba SX TDI is a 90bhp one, they're very rare and for some reason everyone wants mega bucks for them. The Mk4 Cordoba comes in 100 and 130bhp TDI models but they're saloons not coupe body styles.

Definately a nice looking and unusual car just for that money and the mileage I could get a nice Golf diesel with half the miles! lol!

i run a van aaken tuning box on a 90bhp engine, although i dont have a rolling road figure it goes extremely well and blows very little soot out
they quote an increase to around 112 bhp which given the performance seems reasonable

The thing is the cordy coupe is a rare a good looking car, but its just a bit show and no go with a TDi engine. However if i wanted a car to pootle around town in i'd have one in a second, but for now i'll stick with my B road blaster :)

Indeedy :(

I loved Cordy (C12RDY) - such a shame it came to a tragic end..

Mine was a TDI 90, but you CAN get more than the 117bhp mentioned here out of the engine, mine made 130bhp up from 126bhp the weekend before it all ended.

The ECU is non-reprogrammable, but you can upgrade the injector nozzles for larger ones, fit a dirty great FMIC, decent exhaust, BMC CDA and then get the tuning box adjusted on a RR to get a decent improvement.

Good luck with your search, they're great cars.. but they are overpriced (I paid about £1K over the odds for mine as they are so hard to come by)
