Leon 1.5 Evo TSI

[Leonfr140]

So I’m Voluntarily terminating my 1.4 Ecotsi and have ordered a 1.5 Evo 130 on a lease, my question is does it have the ACT like my EcoTsi??

Thanks

I believe there are more than one version of this engine, one has ACT and one doesn't, someone correct me if I'm wrong

I messaged Seat uk on Twitter they said no, but reading online I’m not convinced that’s true, I know the 130 in the golf with DSG has and it also shuts the engine down when coasting, shame the 130 dsg isn’t available on the Leon , I have gotten used to the ACT and I like it, so would be a shame (not the end of the world) if the new one didn’t have it! The old 1.4 the 150 had it and the 125 didn’t, but with the 1.5 I thought both had it

I was under the impression (but I will happly accept I'm wrong if otherwise shown) that both the 1.5 Evos have ACT. 130s are more economy biased than 150s.
I'm not aware of the latest Seat Leons specs, but I think 130 is avaliable in FR and possibly SE Tech as manual only and 150s FR only in DSG or manual?

https://www.motor1.com/news/176568/vw-golf-new-tsi-engine/ seems to think 130s have ACT plus extra coasting (engine shut off) ability* DSG only though...

This is how I was lead to believe!! Yeah coasting on DSG 130 which is not available (yet) on the Leon !!

Looks like from the German Configurator that the 150 is ACT and the 130 isn’t , which seems a shame, nothing on Spanish or English Configurator to determine if that’s true!

Well...at 2:07, seems to show a little writing on the dash '2 cyl mode.'

I doubt anyone who has a 150 would say they have a 130.

Thanks for the video!! Well let’s hope so! Just online there doesn’t seem to be a 100% answer ! Well I’ll find out in about 6/7 weeks got a build week of 44 now

If it helps.... In Greece the ACT comes only with the 1.5 tsi EVO 150 and not with the 130 .
The 130 at the other hand seems it has a different turbo .... in favor of economy...

So I’ve managed to contact someone from a well known car magazine in the UK who has been able to check with Seat PR and apparently both 1.5s have Act, so happy days!!

That's interesting ..... I guess they have to correct the details over here at their website
Glad you sort it out .

Yeah very interesting also seems from another thread that the car will come with WLAN, and Alexa for Android! It’s always nice when you get a car and it has features on it that you weren’t expecting or aware of!! Haha
