Dif between mp9 & mpi
Hi guys. Was wondering how to tell mp9 from mpi with the exeption of the cat and lambda sensor and bigger flywheel. Reason being that i am starting to think i may have baught a molested mpi 1.4i citi sport and not mp9. The year moddel tells me that is when vw went from mp9 to mpi but wich i have is a mistory. Reason for the question being mine has the airbag and might be decated with mp9 standard manifold. Is there any other way to tell one from the other like no on the ecu or some other way other than to get a diagnostic done. If so please post so this could be put to rest once and for all......

Re: Dif between mp9 & mpi
Despite the mangled English I managed to make out what you are asking.
Standing under correction, this is what I know to be the main differences between MPi and MP9;
MP9: no cat and made by Bosch
MPi: cat and O2 sensor, made by Shurlok.
MP9 can be flash tuned and immobilizer can be defeated.
MPi can be thrown into the bin or used as a decoration or a fancy paper weight.

Lol
Bosch and shurlock ecu is the easiest identification.. somebody could have rewired an mp9 ecu and left everything else (cat, lambda etc) as is..?

If it has a cat it is MPI. Mp9 versions never had a cat so no lambda sensor.

Re: Dif between mp9 & mpi
Thanx for the replies guys. Baught the car second hand from a dealer in springs.I am just trying to figure out what i baugt as the car does seem a bit on the dark side. Will figure out with the help and advice you gave and come back to you. We are never to old to learn something new and if it does turn out to be mpi ill just fit a after market ecu. Peace out...missioner wrote:Nah brah eet was keef chooning ekseDub rox wrote:Thanx for the english lesson mate. Did not know i had to be of english speaking nature to be part of the forum.

If the car was purchased less than 6 months ago, then let the dealer sort it out first.

Re: Dif between mp9 & mpi
Strange thing though, no cat and no o2 sensor, not even the plugg. Guess it was removed because of the o2 fault and replaced by the mp9 manni.
