Default Mondy Tdci's. 115 vs 130?
I'm after one of these to use for work and general running about.

Is there a huge difference between them? And whats the actual difference engine wise, is it simply a different map? If so, can't the 115 be easily upgraded to 130??

Lots of questions, advice appreciated.

The 130 has a variable van turbo were as the 115 has a static vane. My 115 has been remapped by MSD and it gives the exact same performance as a 130 with a tuning box on, infact mine holds the power a little further up the rev range.

If it were me I'd go for the 130, but I wouldn't be disappointed with a 115. Oh and try and got one with a 6 speed box!

give it a year or two until the new mondeo is on the second hand market, prices of the mk3 should drop considerably
