1.4 tsi with ACT, Buy or Avoid?? – 23-04-2015, 09:28 AM. We're considering changing our Golf for a Mk7 and this time going for a 1.4 tsi 150ps with ACT. Before placing an order I thought it wise to ask for opinions on this engine from owners and in particular those of you in the trade. F10RS • 1 yr. ago. I own MK7 GTI Fully Bolt on Stage 3 from APR about 420hp I also have 2018 TSI 1.8T to get to 350hp you will need to upgrade the Turbo,most likely Downpipe,Intake,Intercooler and Exhaust. Than Tune it. On my TSI I’m stage 1 from APR,Ignition Coils,plugs and Intake and I’m roughly around 240hp on 91. This MK7 Golf GTE engine has a code of CUBK:-1.Torque-plate honed cylinder block with reduced cooling jacket depth. 2.Piston in cylinder clearance adapted to cylinder block to reduce noise, blow-by gases & friction. 3.Main bearings & conrod bearings have a special coating to reduce wear. So wifey's '16 GTi SE w/perf pkg (commuter car ), that just logs slow, highway miles just clicked 70k - and dealer quoted the following: replace thermostat housing (just the housing, not pump) - $1710; mount two new tires - $599 (I just had 4 new Michelin SS mounted early 2019); replace brake pads - $1345 (front with rotors, rear just pads); recondition 4 wheels (some inner well dents) - $1,259. My first Mk7 Golf and my current Mk7 Golf both produce the same noise on starting, I haven't let it bother me. Overall I find the 1.4 TSI engine quite noisy, it sounds like a diesel engine compared to a Mk4 2 litre naturally aspirated engine. Just as well the cabin has such good noise insulation. . I'm very satisfied with the DSG7 in our mk7 1.4 TSI. Great gearbox ☺! Golf 7 1.8 TSI DSG Alltrack -18 2011 Seat Leon and now 3 months in the Mk7 and no 1 - 2 of 2 Posts. Hi there, I currently own a 1.4 TSI Highline model. As far as I know there are no oil consumption problems. The older mk6 models with the 1.2 TSI which have supercharger definitely have engine problems, so avoid that one at any cost. 1.4 TSI is single intercooled turbo engine, smooth like butter and quick when you want it to be.

They do suffer trim and electrical problems and slave and master cylinders are known weak points.
