OK, I have a Skoda Citigo with a listed 59BHP which could do with a little help with the hills around where I live. Drove down to Newquay to have the upgrade done in July 2022 after 9 months of ownership. This was probably the least powerful car they had had all year. But was met with respect and left the car with them while I went to have some breakfast at the local garden centre - also recommended. Came back and was left to test drive the car on unfamiliar roads on the hottest day of the year. Definite improvement noticed. On the drive home noticed it pulled much better on the motorway. Now after 9 months driving around the known local roads it just works better all the time. Looking at the graph provided we find that BHP is up to 84 from an actual 66 before. It also doesn’t peak /run out of power at 5.5K rpm and will now continue until 6.5K rpm, useful for those hills / overtakes. Torque is also up by just less than 10% throughout the rev range but peak torque happens almost 1K rpm lower. So, the effect is better than just bald figures would suggest. Fuel consumption has also, just, improved compared to the first 9 months of ownership. So, has it made my 999 cc three cylinder non turbo petrol car in to a GTI? No, but it is easier / faster to drive with no downsides except it will make me want to do the same with other cars. Don’t hesitate to have your car done.Thanks. Citigo Go.
