Can anybody confirm this. VW Germany site shows this to be the case for both the ACT an non ACT engine
I know it is the case for Europe, up from 140PS to 150PS, seeing as the factory made these changes for the MY15 revisions I would assume us guys at the bottom will see the same changes.
I have a 1.4 TSI coming at the end of September, I am expecting it to be 150PS but nothing confirmed.
A free additional 7kw would be welcome
BTW how long from your order to delivery
I ordered in January, due to a series of "cock ups" the order has been delayed but VW have given me a GTI and fuel vouchers to keep me happy - it worked!Quote:

Does anyone know if the Comfortline MY15 got a kW boost too?
Seems to be conflicting reports online.
Says on vw germany that the Comfortline is up from 90 to 93 kw
Reasoning for these power increases seems to point at Euro 6 compliance
My dealer knew nothing about it.
Is this a new ECU programming or is it a hardware difference?
That would be a first, a VW dealer with no understanding of his own product .Quote:

The fact it actually has a 4 cyl engine let alone a turbocharger would probably be met with "and how does that affect MOB reception"
So the fact that they might be getting an extra 7 kw would be seriously lost on them .
Getting back to your question though ,it's more likely to be a software/ecu tweak to get Euro 6 compliance ,but that's just my guess .
Do we know if this in fact available on MY15 Australian builds as well?
*Can never tell as VW doesn't like updating their advertising materials... And when they do, it's often only half right.
