Anyone know where this engine comes from in the world or VAG? Would like to find spec for the auto version in other vag cars.... Or is it the new 1.6FSI de-tuned to 105bhp????

I think it's the same unit as in the new Octavia and golf but detuned as you say. It may also be in the polo, but i'm not too sure

According to two reviews i've seen,none of the roomster will be fsi engines,just the older spec vw units.
