1.4 FSi or Not
1.4 FSi or Not
Three weeks ago I got what was ment to be a 9n 1.4 fsi but it does not say fsi anywhere not even in the handbook. Is this an fsi then or have the garage pulled one over on me?

yep open your bonnet or it should have an FSI sticker on the back.
If it is not an FSI you can take the car back and ask for your money back as it was not sold as described. How ever before doing this make sure any recipt states its FSI as if it doesn't your maybe a lttle stuffed.
THe V5 shoudl say FSI too. Well mine does

I've done a bit of research on Parkers and I presume it's a sport model? The 1.4 100bhp sport was a more expensive car than the 1.4 FSI, it's quicker but does less MPG. Even if the garage are a pain then you might have a got a better car!
although it's one insurance group higher and the engine is of older heritage

Amen to that. If it's 100 BHP it'll be the sport model, athough technically speaking, the FSi is also sport trim. I'd keep it if it was a valverdavid burton wrote:I've done a bit of research on Parkers and I presume it's a sport model?

If I remember correctly, the 1.4 non FSI was available as 75PS and 100PS and the original 1.4 FSI was 85PS. I avoided this one back in 2002 as I was worried about the long term reliability of the camshafts as the lobs were slid on then the hollow camshaft was hydraulically pressurised to expand and lock the lobs to the shaft - but this design seems to work okay to date.
