which 1.4 petrol engine do i have?

[tkjeeves]

just wondering how i can tell which 1.4 petrol engine i have as i was told by the dealer when i bought it was the 85ps model but i know this this the 75ps but i'm not sure since the car seems to be in the borderline of facelift. Or i just could be confusing myself and i'm wishful thinking, but how can i tell? VIN? ECU label?

sticker in boot or engine number on V5 will show engine code eg BBY, BKY
alternatively send me your vin number i will see what spec it is

2005 I would guess to be 75bhp - facelift wasn't until circa mid 2006 - mine's one of the first - registered 3rd July I think

I have a 2006 55 plate pre-facelift 1.4, dealers told me it was 75bhp, but when i do insurance quotes with a few companies and put in my reg they come up saying its a 85bhp version? :S

 

[tkjeeves]

A quick look in the boot says BKY

[tkjeeves]

thanks, but is that kw or ps? i thought germans use ps

You'd love it if it was 75KW (102PS),I'd expect he meant to say 75PS!

 

[tkjeeves]

yeah thought so, doesnt feel like 100! lol

oops must check on monday i swore etka said kw mind you

im pretty sure it wont be the 100bhp one unless it has discs on the rear, if it has drums its either the 75bhp or 85bhp.

 

[tkjeeves]

oh i know its not the 100ps formula sport model for sure but is there a time period of when the 85ps took over the 75ps? whats the difference between the two? i have the marelli ecu if that helps?

 

[kriso]

BKY is 75ps (55 kw), no doubt about it

yes, if it has discs as far as im aware it will be the 100bhp version.

My diesel Cupra comes up as the petrol version on some insurance websites so I wouldn't pay too much attention to that.

Cheers, well that clears that up
