New 1.2 TSI Engine

[NeilH]

I'm looking out for a new car to replace the wife's Corsa and I was wondering if anybody knew of any plans to fit the Mk5 Ibiza with the new 1.2 TSI engine as they've fitted in the other VAG stable mates i.e VW Polo, Skoda Fabia and Audi A1?

 

[Imran]

the engine is available in all ibizas now i think
orders taken from end of summer i was told
very good replacement for old 1.6!

 

[Octane2097]

on the seat website it isnt avalable on the sc or 5 door
but does say its avalable for the ST (MY2011)
avalable with a DSG too

i cant imagen it being very long before its avalable on all ibiza models

 

[Biker]

I think the Seat website is still showimg 2010MY for most models. Probably worth popping in to have a chat with a dealer.

Drive the Deal (drivethedeal.com) is showing the new 1.2TSI engine available to order. It also shows a nice £1200 discount on the 1.2 TSI Sport

It doesn't mention new 1.2 TSI engine, although i did see that option on their website
Hope this helps

OK, so on the bocanegra, wheels become silver, curtain airbags are discontinued and bluetooth with USB is standard with a refridgerated glovebox too. So the bluetooth and USB, does that include the AUX connection too? Who cares about a refridgerated glovebox anyway, the thing is so small you couldn't put any thing in there to refridgerate anyway. I am soooo glad that only a few ppl will have the titanium alloys now (more exclusive in my opinion anyway) and side curtain airbags are no major loss even though I am glad I have them in mine. Not too many changes to the bocanegra then it seems but cost is still kept up for SEAT. Clever folks they are I tell you......................

Glad to hear that SEAT are increasing some items as standard on some models at least.
My 59 plate SE didn't come with folding mirrors or alarm.
I paid for the "optional extra" of the Bi-xenons and am surprised why they would want to drop that from the options list of the SE models?
The refrigerated glove box would keep your KitKat cool but not much else. My previous car a Mk.4had climate control as standard together with a good size under seat storage box now these items are all optional extra's.The glove box was much larger in the Mk.4 as well.
Sorry if I seem like I am moaning but must stress that I love my Mk.5 today the same as the day I got it (7 months & 13,000 miles ago).

Hmmmm my boc is due in the next couple of weeks "fingers crossed" really hope i dont have silver wheels fitted or i will have to bring it up, dont care about the other options only minor changes imo.

 

[NeilH]

Thanks for the advice gents. Looks like a trip to the local Stealers is in order to do a bit more digging!

Thanks again.

Specs now on the seat.co.uk website. £13.5k is a pretty decent price with DSG.

 

[CJRamze]

Driven a very similar 1.2 with DSG in a new Skoda and that thing was punchier than I thought. Plus the economy was great. This one had come all the way from the EU and was only in the garage for one day!

There is already a remap out for the 1.2TSI engine now 140BHP by ABT! LOL!

I'm in the process of looking for a replacement car and the Ibiza SC is on my short list so popped into my local dealer last weekend and was handed the July price list, it had the 1.2 TSI listed

SE 1.2 TSI - OTR £12780
Sport 1.2 TSI - OTR £13080
Sport 1.2 TSI DSG - OTR £13530

 

[mardon]

Get the DSG version mate. It'll be faster off the mark and better on fuel!

what? omg what a power increase

if only it were that easy to get my 1.2 to those power levels haha

 

[farrar]

Get the DSG version mate. It'll be faster off the mark and better on fuel!

But less reliable

 

[FR_POWER]

Get dsg! Looks for videos on YouTube! U would be surprised!

 

[mazzerati]

Do they do cupra models with a proper gearbox yet? personally not a fan of dsg after all the horror stories I've heard and witnessed

 

[Biker]

The emissions from this engine are very good also. 119g/km makes it free of road tax for the first year and only £30 per year after that. Pretty good really.

PS. MANUAL GEARBOX
