If it's a 1.4 mpi then it's an 8v 60bhp. If it says 1.4 16v on the engine cover then it is a 16v 75/100bhp engine.

8v
your best bet is to get a k&n 57i from
www.motorspeed.com
its listed as vw polo 1.0/1.4/1.6 8v (95 on) 55.99 Bargain!
i've got this currently on my mk5 and it fits a treat.

Its insured as a 75 bhp not 60 so it must be more money
how much effort did that engine cover take cause im a bit kack handed with a jig saw

it weren't too hard at all mate, just gotta believe in yourself
imo it makes it look abit more presentable than with the cover off.
