Ok, what engine you got Mk4 Beeza ONLY!!!

[Silver Bullet]

I had the 2.0L 8v Ibiza for 2 years and I only ever saw another 3 or 4 on this forum in that time. Plus the dealership group I bought it from is still trying to sell off their batch of cars, as no one wants them!

I liked the noise and the performance, but not the fuel economy.

They're selling like crazy over here (in Mexico) ever since I bought mine, but then again I'm used to starting trends, lol
I agree the car does pull well and sound nice but the fuel economy leaves a LOT to be desired, just made some conversions and my 10.1 l/100km turns out to be around 22 MpG!

PD 130 for me - bog standard at the moment but still loving it.

 

[Ol' Timer]

I suppose it is inevitable that the PD130 is the most popular, as for two years, until the introduction of the petrol FR, the 130 Sport was the fastest model in the range.

It's good to see so many new Ibizas with all variations of engines appearing on these forums recently after rather a slow start.

20vt for me

Was the only mk4 20vt at tatton park iirc

 

[DanDiesel]

1.9 tdi sport 130bhp

Mines 150 petrol BUT I've only ever seen 1 FR on the road. I w as begining to think I'm the only one!!

 

[muddyboots]

PD130 – Great performance, economy and group 8 insurance. The thinking man's Ibiza!

Group 7 if you had the original TDI Sport

I've added my vote, as I still feel like an owner in spirit

 

[gorebrush]

Me car's got a PD130

 

[evo2345]

20VT FR with a few mods for me, and saving like mad for more power

 

[Dario]

was it mine?

 

[t_searle]

1.8T 20v 180bhp, thought there would have been more of these!!

 

[Silver Bullet]

come to think of it, other than opening up the engine and counting the valves how can I know if I have the 2.0 8v or the 16v? is it the same engine? what are the power differences? the car's instruction manual says nothing about it and according to seat's website my car was never built!

 

[gazjones]

i belive its just an 8 valve producing 115bhp is i was after one before my fr came along the 20 16v is what was in the mk2 cup rally and cordoba 2.0 16

 

[gorebrush]

Sounds like the engine that was in my Skoda!

8v MPI 115bhp unit. Not a bad engine.

Correct

 

[Silver Bullet]

Not bad, just probably the thirstiest

 

[gazjones]

nah think the 1.8 20vt is thirsty! i managed average of 22 mpg!!!!

 

[gorebrush]

I had 32-34mpg out of my Skoda Octavia..

Get 40-45 and i drive more of a loon in the beeza

 

[TonyK]

PD160 and still loving the torque
