As above, does anyone have the engine codes please?
Some of the later late 90's early 2000's cars?

Thanks

1.9l VE ALH, AHH.

And since you've not specifically implied this 90ps engine has to be a 1.9l...

1.4l R3 PD ATL
1.6l R4 CR CAYB

I think he meant Mk2f Ibiza :p

SEAT Ibiza Mk2 (1Z: 07/96-12/96, AHU: 12/96-06/99, AFN: 03/97-06/99, ASV: 03/99-05/02, AGR: 04/99-05/02, ALH: 10/99-05/02)

Whether they came in the UK with that engine is another matter entirely. Does it matter whether it's an AGR/AHU? If you're going to toy with it, it's not exactly hard to swap from WG to VNT.

yes sorry the mk2 facelift (which most people on the seat cupra forums call mk3?)
yes a wastegate turbo version isn;t an issue, but as the ASV was definitely available, I thought the ALH might also be, and be cheap and easier to mod.

So are there any differences at all between ALH, AGR, AHU, AFN, ASV in terms of bottom end? Or cylinder head, so valves, cam lift....

Didn't the ASV have better oil cooled pistons for example?
Which have the strongest rods?

Bascially, which is strongest for modding to 200bhp?

And........would a pd bottom end bolt up to a VE head, or do the water jacket holes etc etc not line up? :)
