Henning (2014 VW Passat, 1.6 TDI Bluemotion)

[Arragonis]

I un-ecomodded Henning yesterday and added 200 grams of dog-friendly weight



I compounded this crime against eco by adding the same weight to Mrs A's Octavia



The dog we have is elderly (inhereted from my mum who died a couple of years ago) and needs all the help she can get. These combined with a step should be OK.

I'm intrigued..

My 950kg polo has 64bhp of non turbo diesel powah..this has 106?
What is the weight like(either with or without dogmods)

Looks like a nice enough car-hope you enjoy it a bit more than the Aldi..

Official kerb weight is 1505kg for the saloon, I would add maybe 50-100 for the estate perhaps but magazines and websites are not very reliable and it varies model to model.

BHP is the measure of charlatans (bhp = (torque x RPM) / 5252), torque is what you actually use. Henning has 184 lb/ft vs. 91 for your Polo.

If only the Aldi had those prices in mind

Seem fairly evenly matched then-your passat is almost 2x weight of polo, and 2x torque..

We should drag race to settle it!

To settle what ?

I was being witty*

Ah, I see

Could probably have a tug of war instead, I think you would win - the Contis are not the best...

Unlikely-wanli on front, linglong(yes they do exist!) On the rear.

Reckon a polo bluemotion grill could be made to fit?

You'd probably be better off getting the plastic and tape out Cheaper too.
