185bhp or 197bhp

[pwskingle]

Hi i own a 2006 tfsi sport, my local seat garage says its 200bhp and i say different who is right. Could it be 200bhp as i bought it as a demo car and they might of updated the computer, can this be done? or do they know nothing.

185bhp as sold, although i think they are all 200bhp if you put then on a dyno...

what do you think it is?

Engine code
BWA = 200BHP
BWA1 = 185BHP

yours should be BWA1 althought you probably wont notice ant difference in performace between yours and a FR with a BWA

Thanks for your repleys, im not sure because i used to own a ibiza cupra r 180bhp and it was a hell of a lot quicker to 100+mph.fun factor, The only thing i would say is in 2nd gear it doesnt pull like i would imaging, which takes the fun out of it, a bit gutless, but 3rd and 4th feels good, is it down to the car being to heavy

BWA is the engine code, all modern day VW engine codes are 3 digits. They all started with an A until they ran out of A's about 5 years ago. That 1 is the start of the engine number.

If power outputs ever change, VW change the engine code. In that case, if the Sport & FR have the same engine code, they have the same 200bhp engine.

It was oft discussed back when we first bought these cars. A few guys got their cars put on the rollers and they measured roughly the same as stock GTIs so the suspicion was that the official line of 185PS was dubious.

The question being why would VAG/SEAT pay to develop a lower output map? We knew the marketing plan was to slowly increase the max output of their top end vehicle Sport (185), FR (200), Cupra (230+) but was it actually worth spending money on?

i know the difference in engine codes im a parts man

BWA1 is the engine code for a 185ps leon engine if you have accsess to latest ekta it'll confirm.

also they have now moved on to 4 digit engine codes
such as CACX, CEKA just a few examples

Hmm that made me have a look - I just checked for 2006 Model 2.0T Leon and the engine part shows as 06F 100 033 G(X) (Model BWA, 2.0 Ltr. 147 kW)

NB 147 kW = 197 bhp

VAG-COM shows my ECU as 1P0 907 115 D (Component: 2.0l R4/4V TFSI 0010) which in EKTA has a description 1P6 110 000 (BWA+PR-D66+0GG)
