Are the lift bolts worn? Whats the mileage on the engine? Reading up on the 190bhp engine suggests this is quite common after about 60-70k, and it's as simple as replacing a few bolts.![]()
VVTi compared to VVTi-L isnt it?
[TW]Fox;14909384 said:I dont think it should - the 140 is the economy variant of the engine. There is no performance kick as this is not what that engine is supposed to offer. Not all VVTi systems are equal.

Eh? So why are they not sold as VVTLi's?
So all 2.0 Gen 7's are VVTLi's, import or not?
That really is news to me.

see how it remains low until about 6.2k rpm and then jumps about 25-30bhp? that is the 'kick' right there!
is it me or do both of them cars seem under powerd compared the spec output?
I see, that would make sense.
