Luke4efc Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 A 2011 Fiesta didn't even have the ecoboost engine which is why I'm asking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammy81 Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Oh sorry, it鈥檚 67 st line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke4efc Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 In which case it sounds like you have a 125. Go to autotrader and put your reg in as if you are going to sell it (but don't list the ad obviously lol). See what that comes up with. Failing that an Forscan should tell you.

jace1969 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I was going to say that, if its a 2011 there was no ecoboost then and mine is a 2011 fiesta titanium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only got it late聽Friday, so haven鈥檛 seen or got v5 yet. The new owner slip just says st line turbo. It was only from checking online where I found 98g emissions. Even my finance documents say 140!

It might be worth giving DVLA a call tomorrow and giving them the vehicle details so that they can cross-check it with their database. The online checker from DVLA only gives out the basic information and doesn't state the hp/ps of the vehicle.聽 Sometimes dealers make a mistake and put the wrong information down.聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 To answer the original question, there are no visible engine differences between 125 and 140ps so there's no way to tell like that. The Ford ETIS website doesn't tell you either, they just list them as 120/125/140 so could be either. Out of interest, I've just checked 5 2017 ST-lines currently on eBay and 3 of those are listed as the wrong power level! I use聽http://www.cardatachecks.co.uk/ .聽 It shows power in Kw, so you're looking for 92Kw for a 125ps model. 聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I鈥檓 not really bothered, just don鈥檛 want anything to go wrong聽with insurance if anything happened and they鈥檝e got it listed as a different engine! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
