VAG 1.4 ACT 150PS Engine

[Ecosseven]

Looking at the Seat Leon FR with this engine. I know it's also fitted to the A3 and the Golf (Don't think Skoda use it)

Previous VAG engines have a reputation for heavy oil consumption. Is this the same?

Also does it require super unleaded or can it run on normal 95 Ron?

Thanks.

Its 95

Haven't heard of any oil consumption issues with the EA211 1.4 yet. It seemed to be the old chain driven version which suffered badly.

There is a large thread about this engine in the forum, mostly relating to the Golf but most of it applies equally to the Leon.

I have the Leon, it's been run on 95 and 98 petrol without any noticeable difference. It has used a bit of oil, needs topping up now at just under 6,000 miles so not an issue, much better than my MK5 golf gti.
