[rich225cupra]

I know this might be a really obvious answer so heres the queston. It the Cupra R 225bhp only or did they make the 210 a cupra R

 

[cordoba lad]

They did make a 210 Cupra R which the 225 superseded.

 

[rich225cupra]

So a 54 plate would be a 225 then

 

[wayne lcr]

yea from 04 its a 225

 

[wayne lcr]

you can tell by the streeing wheel and the badge on the back says cupra in red and the engine code bam a 225 amk 210

 

[andycupra]

engine code BAM is only way to be sure its a 225. 210 was AMK. ALthough 04 will be a 225.

They remap to the same levels..

Good question name change wayne. English has never been my stongest point
Whats a engine code bam?

 

[rich225cupra]

My Engine number is BAM0536**. is this 225 then?

 

[andycupra]

Engines have a coe to identify the variant.
Engines coded AMK will be 210 bhp
Engines coded BAM will be 225 bhp.

You can see the engine code stamped at the front offside corner of the engine. look next to the charge pipe and its stamped on a plate so you can read the code looking downwards. ie the code is stamped horizontally facing upwards.

[andycupra]

225 is 53 onwards isnt it ??

pretty much.

 

[wayne lcr]

thought it started on 04 a 225

 

[rich225cupra]

yes, but you know this already going by your name...?

true!i was just making sure becayse when i went to see it the garage said it was 180bhp but when i went to insure it, it said 225!

 

[AntneeUK]

Cupra was 180, Cupra R was 210 and then 225. If yours is a proper R then it's definitely not a 180! Have you checked your engine code yet?

 

[rich225cupra]

yeah i starts with BAM on log book. is this 225 then?

 

[AntneeUK]

That's what has been said 6 or 7 times already Yes mate
