hi all I’m new here..

I’m about to order a new Seat Ibiza FR. I was hoping to get the 1.5 evo but I’ve been told that Sest has stripped production of this engine so I’d have to find a second hand car if I really wanted it. They wouldn’t explain why. Was anyone else aware of this it seems really strange to stop production so early in its life..

Thanks

Seems odd...it’s still on the Configurator, or at lest it was yesterday. Though speaking to the sales guy on Friday at the dealer we bought ours from (to explore getting a replacement) he said that the upcoming changes in emission regs and the need for manufacturers to retest all vehicles is causing chaos. The lead time for a replacement FR DSG 115 is 22 weeks!! Perhaps the 1.5 is affected as well...? Though the engine is available in loads of other cars...
