Very reliable motor, with power steering so easy to drive and park, ideal for city use or as first car. Everything done on it so should not need attention till next service (~6000 miles).

Cheap insurance and relatively good on fuel (averaged 40mpg over 20k miles). The car is in excellent condition inside and out for the age. Asking price reflect condition and service carried out. You won't find one as good as this for this money and with that amount of tax left on it: £700 as seen or £750 with a 12 months MOT. No offers and no swap / part exchange. For sale following purchase of a new car. Here are some pictures of the car taken today 19/01/14, after wash,polish and valet.

Is it defo an mpi. Engine pics looks same as mine which is a carb not injection. The mpi normally say mpi on the single engine cover. Not have the air box bit over the carb.
Cracking little cars either way, we have an auto s reg in black with 42k on it. Very nippy for an auto too

Yes it is a MPI engine and as far as I am aware, all 1.4 Arosa were MPI. I think the engine cover you are referring to was introduced with the face lift in 2000 and maybe also on the VW badged variant, the Lupo.
Since we are on digging the trivia facts of the mighty Arosa here is an interesting one:
The Arosa was designed by the same man who designed the Bugatti Veyron.

I thought the mpi stood for Multi point njection, yours looks the same as mine, under the air box is a carb, no injection here. So didn't think the carb models were mpi. Unless that mpi means something else then. I knew the earlier models there were options depending on trim levels of mpi and just 1.4. Mine certainly has a carb style set up with a single point, certainly not multipoint. |

Mine certainly has a carb style set up with a single point, certainly not multipoint. MPI= Multi Point Injection. That is correct. Under my air box there is a throttle body, not a carburator. Under my engine cover there are 4 injectors. Hence MPI. I hope this settles the matter. I can always post a picture of the aforementioned injectors later this week when I manage to catch some day light after work. |

I've also since learnt that seat in their wisdom instead of using MPI for multi and SPI for single point - the used MPI for both, so MPI for Multi point and ALSO mpi for Mono point!! how to confuse people! |
