2001gti Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Afternoon people,i just thought i would jump on and see if i can find anybody that has experience with the 1.4tsi engine? the reason i am asking is because i am in the market for the new fabia VRS but apparently it is laced with problems?tah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 iv heard they are quite a good engine to be honest but im not certain. Never had any dealings with them myself... they go well tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001gti Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 oh yes ive got no doubt about the performance. i have just heard little rumours that they eat piston rings for fun and drink oil like there is no tomorrow. i have googled it, but i cant really find anything after 2009, i just hope they were the early teething problems.

Huw Pugh Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Have you tried the Fabia II forum on Briskoda? If there were problems, I'd imagine that's one of the places you'd find more detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete91 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 The guy's got a pretty huge post count to be fair and figured he may as well ask on a forum he's familiar with on the off chance someone might know the answer. Not a particularly ridiculous thing to do imo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001gti Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 this isnt a "vag" forum. Its a lupo forum which happens to be part of the VAG group. that doesnt mean you will join a ford fiesta forum to ask quite specific questions about the engine in a jaguar xtype diesel engine that was never put in a fiesta.... the X-type 2.0d engine is from a modeo isnt it?the point i am getting at is, rather than going registering to a new forum for the sake of 1 question i thought i would try my luck on this forum as i have an account and used to be around quite a lot.. it just gets to me when people post stupid replies to such a simple question.

IDGM Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Mr C, are you going thinking of going for a new one? If so, get it on HP or PCP and don't have it any longer than the warranty period. Any faults fall to the hire/lease company then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001gti Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Thanks Mr M... i was after a 2nd hand one if im honest but ill certainly look into HP, failing that the Polo 1.2TSI R looks like a good all rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobG Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I was looking at the a1 1.4 tsi recently. I was advised that the 180bhp (turbo and supercharged?) ones were the ones to avoid, they drink oil worse than a lupo sport on a bad day. The 120bhp ones are fine.
