Confused Tdi Sport bhp

[gazman]

Looking to buy a Ibiza TDi

seen one for sale advertised as a 1.9TDi Sport on a 53 plate

when I rang the seat salesman an asked on BHP he said 110

I then do an insurance check and it's described as a SEAT IBIZA SE TDI PD 100

So who's correct ?

Also appreciate opinions on the 100/110 model as well please

Thanks

Just to confuse matters even more a TDI Sport on a 53 should be a PD130 engine rather than a 100 or 110. Ask the salesman whether it has a 6 speed 'box or not. If it hasn't then it's not a sport and is probably the 100 BHP SE as they've never used the 110BHP engine in the MK4 Ibiza.

will the badging indicate anything eg,just the i in red or Di in red?

As has been mentioned many times on here before, if it has five gears it's a 100, six and it's a 130.

Never ever take any notice of badges on cars when buying. People will often put a £5 badge on the back of a car then try and sale it for £500 more as the next model up etc.

We all were at some stage.

No worries, spend a good few hours (days?) reading on here and you will find out almost everything there is to know about the car you are looking at. And then you will spend the next few years flexing your credit card making it better!

A lot of places still say 110BHP as thats one of the models the earlier TDI's came in. The old Mk3 TDI Sport was 110BHP.

There's a few ex-scoobie owners on here. The Beezer is certainly cheaper on the running costs front.

There are surprisingly many traders who don't know what they're talking about or dealing with, that's certainly true. It's amazing how many 8v Cupra Sports you see advertised as 16v's as they dont have a clue. VAG Diesels must be in a league of their own when it comes to confusing the pants off people unless you keep a close eye on what's coming onto the market all the time.

Why not go for the FR TDI (130bhp) or the Cupra TDI (160bhp)?

Mine's a 53 plate and was 130 bhp. But yeh - like people say, 6 speed box will be 130. And actually get it into 6th and make sure it's not just a gear knob!

 

[gazman]

Thanks for the replies

The 100 can be remapped to around 130ish and at what cost

 

[BeezerDiesel]

£250 upward.
Plenty of re-mappers advertise on this forum, see what sort of price they can do for you.
I've had several Upsolute re-maps on VAG Diesels and can vouch for them.
I've also had experience of REVO and AmD and all have been good.

53 plate Sports are definately 130, the 100s started coming out a year later.

Just make sure its a Sport

 

[Rosco906]

the pd100 is still a nippy engine,

i have 1 myself.

couple others on here also.

Speak to Guniess his pd100 has been remapped to around 130ish.

 

[gazman]

Ok

been to see the car

registered Oct 2003

5 door

16" Seat Alloys

6 speed gearbox(tried it as well)

Log book says its a 100bhp sport

Salesman said they can get registered incorrrectly

Now I,m more baffled

 

[Rosco906]

any pic's of the car?

Did u open the bonnet?

how many red parts it have on the tdi?

 

[Tom B]

If the engine number on the V5 starts with ASZ, its a 130. But we all know its a 130.

My mum's silver Ibiza Cupra 3 door was registered with the DVLA as a grey 5 door Ibiza Cupra Sport. Even SEAT don't know what cars they sell sometimes!
