1996 seat toledo - joe
Just bought a 1996 Seat Toledo 2.0 16v as a cheap second car. Can anyone tell me what bhp it is? I seem to get different asnwers from different places, some say its 135 and some say its 150. Also, the throttle pedal action seems very stiff (albeit that I am used to a very light throttle). Is this a feature of the car? If so, can it be changed by installing a different spring or something?

if this has got the VW 16valver (golf,vento, corrado etc..) in it then I think it will have 150BHP I think.

Quite a nice mover I should think

It's the same engine as the mark 2 golf. won't be quite as quick as it is a bit heavier, but it's got a tardis-like boot, quite astonishing. Bet a golf of same age and mileage (56k)would have cost half as much again. I paid 3k for the Seat which is well above book, but it's alot of car for the money. If only the throttle wasn't so stiff...
