Is Hirsch Upgrade on 1.9 TiD worth it?
« on: 14 October 2011, 01:21:19 PM »
Read recent posts on the 2.2TiD upgrade with interest.

Considering getting the 1.9 upgrade done, but not sure it's worth it as the power/torque increase not that big, although bands seem a lot wider and through gear acceleration looks much better. Questions are:

1. Anyone had this upgrade done (I've got a 2009 manual estate)
2. What did the difference feel like in real life?
3. Any impact, good or bad, on mpg, especially when cruising on the motorway?

Anyone recommend it and, if so, what should I pay? Everything seems pretty negotiable at the moment.


Many thanks!
