Windmills are cool, they're like house turbos
I wish they all made a noise like Windy Miller's

Do we yet have any verifiable source (other than Wikipedia ) on which engine codes are which type of engine? I'm interested in where the information is coming from...

coor shee kay ka butt, coor shee kay ka butt.
My old cupra sounded a bit like that towards the end...

You do realise that most of the yoofs on here will have no idea what we are on about .....
Remember when he drank too much cider?

Damn I feel old!
Here's some info you may find useful:
http://www.seat.com/owners/diesel-engines/faq.html
And, according to this:
https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&r...uiOSunEiCrBwblCWw&sig2=x04ZOEsyrQ0LXQUZ42s45A
I have a EA288 motor in my January 2013 LEON FR 184PS.
As this page shows a EA189 motor (You may have to hit translate to read it all):
http://www.vwgolf.pl/2015/09/24/lista-silnikow-ea189/
You can clearly see the Diesel Particulate Filter is vertical on the EA189 motor, as stated in a previous post, and horizontal on the EA288 motor. If you check down the back of your engine you will clearly see that its either horizontal or vertical. This is how I checked mine.
My V5C log book, on page 2, section 4, P.5 Engine number states : CUP "xxxxxx"
And my service book/Car Maintenance Program Book has the sticker in front showing: 3. CUPA
This, hopefully, provides a little more conformation for a few of you guys.

How come they kept the same engine specifications (changing only the DPF orientation as it seems ) yet the emissions are on average 20-30 times higher on older Leons compared to the newer ones? Is it only software? And why wasn't this software installed on older engines in the first place if it can keep power/torque the same? Something doesn't quite come out.

The EA288 engine only shares some of the lower engine parts with the EA189
The cylinder head, valve system, cat & dpf, cooling system and egr system are all different between the engines.

Same here, I have a 65 plate 184FR manual and V5C states CUNA under engine details.
I took delivery last Friday and I think the story broke around the same time. If mine is affected then it probably doesn't make that much difference overall in the real world however if it is affected then I will go full on crazy at Seat/VAG and point blank refuse any retrograde works.
I purchased a brand new car based on the info available, if the car is no longer in line with those specs then I require compensation based on my purchase. Its the principle of the whole thing really, not so much the actual ramifications.
