1.4L 118kw engine GONE

[stormshark]

Pardon my ignorance but can anyone tell me whether the Skoda Fabia VRS motor denoted as a 1.4l 132tsi i think with super and turbo charger is bacically the same motor with likely similar problems? I was thinking of maybe looking at buying one?

And the same engine that is in the Polo GTI

Same cavd engine but only really seems to give trouble in the highly tuned versions like in the polo gti. I'd play it safe and stay away or do more research as Vw has changed the engine code from cavd to cthd denoting a change to the engine. Maybe cthd deals with the oil burning issues in the higher output versions.

Why this is bad for us who own 118TSI's is that future repairs will be costlier than if it were currently in production. I'm definitely getting rid of my car before my 5-year warranty expires

It not only applies to TSI118 owners, but owners of all 1.4L engines, as the new 1.4L is a completely new engine with virtually nothing in common with the old 1.4L except bore spacings

While i was watching a few mark 7 videos it occured to me that below the GTI, the top performing engine will now be the 2litre TDI, not the 1.4 petrol 4. If i were to buy a sporting non GTI comfy line (assuming no highline yet again) mark 7 it would now be the TDI.
