how to tell if its 8v or 16v

[autosri]

im looking to get a ibiza cupra sport 2.0 its T reg and thats all i know how can you tell if its a 16v or a 8v and what are the 0-60 times on both and what are the insurance groups as you can tell im a newbee but just trying to find out more befor i buy one

 

[Fl@pper]

engine code is one way if vehicle isnt accessible

reg number may help - local factors/parts shop can log in to dvla for info

or look under the bonnet

this is a 16v

Biggest give away is the boot spoiler 16v is alot nicer looking

pop the bonnet and the it should read SEAT DOHC 16v on the inlet manifold

 

[autosri]

so the 16v have spoilers and the 8v dont i dont have access to the car as its a fair way away just trying to fin d out as much as possible

 

[Fl@pper]

if you know the reg number - email it me and ill check in the am and grab the info

16v also has a nice big intake , 8v only half fills the engine bay. 16v revs to just shy of 7k also.

They both have spoilers but the 16v has a little lip on it. But the most reliable way is to get the reg number and find out that way.

if the alloys haven't been changed then... if its got 16" Multi Spokes either white or silver then its a 16v, if it as 15" 5 spokes in silver its a 8v.

Thats only if the wheels haven't been changed.

Also on the front grille the 16v says GTi16v and the 8v says GTi.

 

[autosri]

ahh thats it it its got white multi spokes on it and i think there standard

Personally get about 30mpg driving on the motorway 80ish. 33mpg if driving 70ish. 22mpg giving it some stick round country roads. Definitely worth it as it gives me a huge grin on the face every time I put my foot down, and it helps taking your mind off the price of V-power.

So what Motorway has a Speed Limit of 80MPH, Mig?
