lunalupi Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 The plain 1.4 is a 75bhp one - the sports have 100.Pedal boxes have been known to break, but no goodwill from SEAT on this one as yet.Check for rust in the gutters, around the fuel filler cap, arches, winscreen edges - there is an anti-perforation warranty though, and they don't suffer too badly.Can't think of many major problems - just look it over like you would any golf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g-man85 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 the 1.4 in the arosa was an 8v if i remember right which was 60bhpCorrect - mate at school had one as his first car. They're the same engines used in the 1.4 mk4 Polo's, mk3 Golfs and Ibiza's.Just a 1.4 8v MPI pushing 60hp.Facts from parkers on SEAT Arosa (97-04)1.4 MPi SE 3dEngine Size: 1390 cc Cylinders: 4 0-60 mph: 13.6 s Power Output: 60 bhp Valves: 8 Torque: 116 Nm/85 lb-ft Top Speed: 100 mphFuel tank: 34LWeight 895 kg Fuel Delivery: Multupoint electronic injectionMPG: 45 Insurance Group: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarroll Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Sorted...60 whole horses! To be fair ive had it a week and a half now and ive gotta say im very impressed. Clutch is a tad funny so need to change the cable and apart from that its a winner. Lucking for some cheap lowering springs at the mo as cant afford coilovers. Anyone got any springs? Gonna go about 60mm if i can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcarroll Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Im thinking that i might put it on coilies and some nice zender fake splits and then maybe, that is a big maybe either sell it to a youngter and buy a sport or do something really entertaining under the bonnet. Need to prevent the understeering first or itll get modded by a truck lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
