Title: MK5 1.6 FSI questions from potential future owner :)
Post by: les.tansey on 25 March 2012, 22:39
Hello MK5 section, I'm looking into getting a MK5 1.6 FSI in the future and just have some questions about them. Here goes:

- What do the SE and Sport versions have that the standard FSI's don't?

- I saw a SE 1.6 FSI with the cream cloth intherior with the half cream/half black dash and was wondering whether this was an extra, because I have never seen this in a SE 1.6 FSI before. How much can you pick these full cream interiors up for (minus seats - because I'd ideally get cream leathers rather than the cloths), and how hard are they to find? Can they be bought new from VW?

- Do thE 1.6 FSI's have disc brakes front and rear as I may paint the calipers at some stage, and don't want to have painted drums for obvious reasons.

- Are there any particular issues with this model that I should look for when buying one?

Im 18 by the way, and am currently saving up for one within the £4500-£6000 mark. (quite a hard task for me, with so many plans for my mk3, but I'm trying  :laugh:)

Sorry for the sheer quantity of questions, and thanks in advance for any responses  :wink:.

I hava a 1.6fsi match. It's an excellent car and hasn't given any trouble-2007 model. It has all the toys-cruise control, auto wipers, dimming mirror, parking sensors with distance meter, aircon, multi-function steering wheel, etc.

It has discs front & rear.

Not sure about the leather seats, mine has cloth.

Can you still buy these new from vw, and how much are they?

Cheers guys  :wink:
