The 1.4 engines/gearboxes are no more unreliable than any others fitted in mk4s. But they are sinfully slow, as is the 1.6 | |

quote: 100hp 16v? Never heard of many going round, more so popping any coil packs. 1.2s and 1.8Ts are common for coilpacks | |

Very problematic engines these, I looked at swapping one for my corsa but Christ they're shit engines. Very slow as well | |

Get a 1.9 non turbo diesel. Our works van is a caddy Sdi with 230K on it. So good on fuel as well, can't imagine a 1.4 being great on fuel in such a heavy car | |

I had a mk5 golf 1.4. EML and regular coil pack problems. Also it went back with the second gear hanging out of it. | |

Box problems are on all 5 speed VAG boxes not just the 1.4's they shear the rivets off the diff. | |

In your head youll think, its a 1.4 so it'll spank 1.1/1.2's. This isnt the case, when people say they are slow they aint lieing. My mate had one and my 205 1.1 4speed was much faster | |

1.4 had gear box problems,as did the 1.6, a bolt/ rivit head sheres off somewhere inside. Ive had one of each, luck had it i was ok but i know some people that had no end of trouble. | |

Same engine as what was in my seat, Coil packs are a common problem, Was replacing one every 2 months, at £30 a go. | |
