before that the sport could be either PD100 or PD130
They stopped doing the 130bhp Sport after 2004 When they introduced the FR badge which took the PD130 engine, before that the sport could be either PD100 or PD130
SE's had twins, 100 Sports have singles.Isnt the gearing only diferent for the 6th gear? And I thought the 100 sports had the twin headlights? I know the 100 se had twin headlights (03 reg)

There are some wrong'uns out there, so usual advice is to get a vehicle check done.

Thats advertised as a 100, yet has 6 speed and twin headlights. Yet, its group 5 insurance (100 bhp, not 7 for the 130bhp) and the vehicle check comes back as an "Ibiza Diesel Hatchback 100", Colour "unknown", and Body Type "Data Not Provided", which are warning signals. It has 138 co2, so everything points to it being a 130, apart from their description as a 100 and the group 5 insurance.
At the very least do a Vehicle Licence Check (tax disc) ( http://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk ) which will give you the co2, which will indicate if its 100 (132 co2) or 130 (138 co2).
My local friendly SEAT salesman tells me.People are always buying the red lettering for their TDI badge on the back.So they can pretend they have a 130 instead of a lesser model.Says the mechanics (when servicing) never go on the badging anymore.They just look for the traction control button and 6 spd gearlever.
I've even seen people on here,asking where they can buy the red letters.Whatever turns you on.
I've taken my badges off altogether so they don't know what it is until you use the load pedal!
Let them think it's a 1.4 TDI!.
That' s the best thing about the 130.The ultimate in stealth.No one knows what it is. Engage the warp drive captain!.
Haha! I love owning cars that I really shouldn't be able to! It seems to make their blood boil even more when they find out it's a derv.
Theres not much that can get away once your rolling... but 1st gear is effectivley useless
