1.4L 118kw engine GONE

[idaho]

... VWA haven't yet announced an engine line-up for Australia, so we don't even know which engines we will or won't get (and that includes engines that haven't been released in Europe yet)...

The RVCS website is showing 90TSI, 103TSI and 110TDI engines.

Might also have something to do with the universal MQB chassis platform.
Apparently the 1.4 L engine is a completely new design and the engine block is now cast Aluminium Alloy, in addition to that, all engines used on the MQB platform will be orientated so that the exhaust manifold will face the rear of the car and all engines will be leaned backwards. Not sure if this would effect the ability (space required) to incorporate twin charging or not, but it does seem VW have intelligently gone about designing this platform to reduce manufacturing costs and make it as universal as possible.

Pardon my ignorance but can anyone tell me whether the Skoda Fabia VRS motor denoted as a 1.4l 132tsi i think with super and turbo charger is bacically the same motor with likely similar problems? I was thinking of maybe looking at buying one?

And the same engine that is in the Polo GTI

Same cavd engine but only really seems to give trouble in the highly tuned versions like in the polo gti. I'd play it safe and stay away or do more research as Vw has changed the engine code from cavd to cthd denoting a change to the engine. Maybe cthd deals with the oil burning issues in the higher output versions.

Completely different 1.4L in new Mk 7

Why this is bad for us who own 118TSI's is that future repairs will be costlier than if it were currently in production. I'm definitely getting rid of my car before my 5-year warranty expires

It not only applies to TSI118 owners, but owners of all 1.4L engines, as the new 1.4L is a completely new engine with virtually nothing in common with the old 1.4L except bore spacings

While i was watching a few mark 7 videos it occured to me that below the GTI, the top performing engine will now be the 2litre TDI, not the 1.4 petrol 4. If i were to buy a sporting non GTI comfy line (assuming no highline yet again) mark 7 it would now be the TDI.
