Comparison of the 1.4 engines.

[kennysarmy]

Does anyone know of a table that compares the three different 1.4 engines.

I can't seem to find the info. anywhere in one concise place.

I am trying to source a 1.4 TSI in SE spec. for under £15k

Yesterday I had a test drive in a 1.4 but it was in FR spec. and was the 150bhp variant.

I see the new SE models have a 1.4 with 125bhp and the ones I'm looking at have 140bhp...

The 140PS versions are from the previous MY aren't they? They had a little boost earlier this year. I thought the engines might be profiled in the brochure, so snapped this for you: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gt8etjyniluasd7/Screenshot 2014-10-01 10.47.31.png?dl=0

ETA: I think the brochure I have is outdated too - no mention of ACT there, nor is it updated for the 150PS version of the 1.4 engine, or the boosted 1.2.

1.4s from 2013 - Juneish 2014 were 140bhp
From June 14 onwards, The 1.4 in the FR is 150bhp, the 1.4 in the SE is 125bhp

From memory the newer ones have slightly different emissions EU6 I think.

The 140bhp engine is great and only £30 per year tax.

It seems to be a SEAT UK decision. In Spain the SE is available with the 1.4 150 ACT engine

The 140bhp engine is the same as in the current Octavia and was mighty impressive when we test drove one. We've ended up ordering a Leon ST FR with the ACT engine though, but wont get it until December.

Not sure about the Leon but in the Octavia the emissions (121g/km) put it just into the ~£110 tax band.

In the Leon the 1.4 is 119g. The new ACT engine is less.

The 150bhp dumps 109g/km co2 and is only £20 a year tax and the 125bhp is 120g/km co2 and is £30 a year tax if that helps at all

Crazy how a bigger engine dumps more... they must have had it running in two cylinder mode.
