1.4 Ttfsi

Hopefully.

Would have been even more of a cracker in an Arosa!!! Shame.

Can't think where SEAT would put it to be honest. It's probably too expensive to put in a Beezer, the Leon already has a 185bhp TFSI, so would be very close on performance and likely a more expensive engine to manufacture than the 2.0T. The Altea doesn't really fit in with the image but is a remote possibility for it perhaps(?)....Tolly? Nah.....

The new engine that is in the Golf GT, do you guys think it will be in the leon, it looks like a cracker. 168 bhp, 40+ mpg..

I think it would be call a TCfsi as its know as the Twincharger FSI engine (a supercharger and a turbocharger together...nice..) I think the diesel version of the Golf GT will have the same engine as the new Leon FR TDI (170BHP)

i heard from sources that it will go into the altea as its goin in the vw touran as well!
did you know there is 2 variants of the engine. 1 has 138bhp and the 168 bhp. think the 138bhp is goin in the touran.

Are these the 1.4 turbo and supercharged lumps ive heard about?

Scrap that just seen the main title!

Well, VW calls it 1.4 TSI...

Yes, but actually Leon FR TDI hasn't been announced yet. Altea FR TDI has been announced already, though, and it does have that engine.

Anyway, why is everyone drooling over the TSI in the UK? Was it so that diesel is actually more expensive than petrol there?

Because if diesel is cheaper, I'd be all over 2.0 TDIs. Just so much more torque and almost the same hp numbers (exactly the same in the GT TDI anyway). And of course, TDI's consumption is smaller anyway.

In Finland diesel is only about €0.20 cheaper than petrol, and there's still an annual diesel tax of ~€400 for e.g. Golf, so it requires quite a lot of driving before a diesel is profitable.

In Germany the GT is 2500 € more expensive as TDI than FSI, so there's a big price for the additional ~100 Nm. Actually, the GT TDI is even a bit more expensive than the GTI...

Son - Derv over here is more expensive than petrol at the pump.

I have 171bhp and get 40mpg+ ya point

Think these will cost too much tho to put in a small car where that sort of power would be impressive, anything bigger than a beeza and the power will be sucked out via weight!
