New member 2012 GTC 1.4 turbo - David1987 - 4:th-Mar-2017
Hi everyone ?
Just thought I'd pop in and say hi since I've just purchased a 2012 Astra gtc 1.4 turbo (120).
I have a few questions about the car if anyone can help me. Firstly, what is the difference between the 120bhp and the 140bhp 1.4 turbo? Obviously 20bhp, but is that just down to the map or are there also physical differences?
Can anyone tell me what sort of power these engines are capable of and what sort of power can the clutch, gearbox etc take before running into problems?
Is there anything in particular that I should keep an eye on in my specific car, problems etc?
I will be reading through the forum for more info but any basic knowledge and know how from more experienced owners would be appreciated.
Thanks for any advice.
Dave.

Asfar as I'm aware the 1.4T 120 and the 1.4T 140 are the same, it's just the map that differs.

Thanks for the replies
I was starting to think I'd signed up to an in-active forum.
