Insurance troubles

[Brad.]

As it stands the car is insured as a Silver 60hp S model.
BUT, every insurance website i'm putting the plate into is saying that its a Silver 75HP SE model.

How do i go about looking which is correct, is there such a thing as an engine code searcher, where i can enter the engine code and see if its correct.

Got the V5 here in front of me, and it doesn't say ho wmuch power its got etc?

Totally confused, need to get it sorted ASAP as the insurance is due in 10 days.

Could you phone the DVLA?

[Brad.]

Obv not today, i'll give it a go tomorrow i spose.

Whats your engine code?

[Brad.]

AUD045582 - I think?

[alexperkins]

What cover does your engine have. Does it say 1.4 MPI on it?

[alexperkins]

Just checked ETKA. Its a 60BHP your engine 1.4 8V

[Brad.]

Thank you very much.

Hmm, anyidea why the insurance companites will be pulling up a 75hp then?

[alexperkins]

There were three different 1.4 Polos.

1.4 8V 60BHP

1.4 16V 75BHP

and 1.4 16V 100 BHP.

Some insurance engines dont look up correctly - its happened to me in the past.

[Brad.]

Ah yeah, i knew about the different 1.4v. Damn me having the slowest
Ah well, insurance on a first car is bad enough

[Brad.]

What cover does your engine have. Does it say 1.4 MPI on it?

Still a bit confused, but yeah it does.

[alexperkins]

lol its a puzzle for sure!

[Brad.]

What does it mean if its got the MPI then?

[chrisjames]

Single overhead cam?
MPI stands for Multi-Point Injection.
Your car is an 8v
Sorry thats all I know

[alexperkins]

Well said. It means it shoots the fuel in at multiple places

Whereas my Mk3 is a SPI which is single point injection.
