I bought a Seat Ibiza 6J 1.2 TSI 105 hp. No problems yet, works really good and haves good power

240.000 km in 10 years with this engine (1.2 TSI 105 hp) and still going strong. Serve it, warm it up and accelarate... Car is a (underrated) Seat Toledo 2014

I have the 1.0 litre TSI 115 BHP found on the newer generation 6 Polos and my god does that thing pack a punch! Barely have to touch the throttle pedal and the car is about to take off, same with brakes super sensitive.

Another thing I'll have to get used to is shifting. The car stays dead silent even at higher revs which means I sometimes forget to change gear. I was doing 15 mp/h on first gear and the engine wasn't making a sound....

So far very impressed, but these modern engines/transmissions and gadgets are going to take me some time to get used to coming from an old 2010 Honda hatchback.

Getting to that timing chain looks like an absolute nightmare

My passat b8 with 1.4 tsi czca engine. 103000 km and zero issue.
there was not even an instant fault warning.

1.2 tsi rapid sportback, 138000klm  no problems , just service engines no matter what type and you be fine

322.000 kms very good timing chain and tensor recently changed, but 2 month ago was red light alert of low pressure oil in motor “stop motor” my motor right now is dead 💀.. just only I can startup but the car shoot smoke color white blue, in the oil I can see some little sand miniature metal  🥹 I think the better decision is change motor for used good motor with warranty😢

250k. Have a slight misfire. I think it’s just a spark plug. Gina replace the timing  chain soom as well

Good engine ever ❤❤

Drive the car you want to buy with this engine BEFORE you buy it. Don't let the slick marketing influence your judgement and research.

I own Volkswagen Golf VII 1.2 TSi 77 kw CJZA! I am really happy with it. U need to take care of the motor. Use a quality oil and treat your car as a baby.

just like in my car, with the animation you can see how it struggles with ignition of 2 zylinders, lmao

I own a 77KW 1.2 Polo GT Tsi with DSG transmission..

6 years, 73.000 km, not a single issue, less than 500cc oil consumption every 2 years and if conscious, 4,5l/100km. 5,2 long time average.

Second timing chain at 130000km. Last chain lasted 30000 km. Lol

I just bought a 2010 volkswagen polo comfortline with this engine as my first car today! Couldn't be any happier!

at how many km is this oil chain changed??

My Octavia has now nearly 150.000km and had barely any problems with it. Changing oil and filters every 10k - 12k kilometers.

Only issue i have is with the ignition cables, i changed them three time so far, because they melt very easily, but bought some protection for them and everything is nice so far.

This engine is like a little kid, take care of it and everything will be without headache.
Have a nice 2022!

Thanks for the explanation. Superb, proud owner of a 1.2L TSI 85kW car.

I have a seat ibiza 1.2 tsi. And i have to say. For a small engine, it flies! Its obviously not Cupra performance. But it certainly has a hell of a punch! I upgraded from a 1.2 honda jazz that i added high lift Cams & Forged rods ETC. It was naturally aspirated. But due to those modifications, the reliability went WAY down. I love my Seat so far!
