SV 1.4 DSG vs 1.5 DSG 130

[rasA4]

Looking at a SV to buy 2nd hand on behalf of my dad,
thoughts on differences on both those engines SV 1.4 DSG vs 1.5 DSG 130?

from what i can see the 1.4 is the pre facelift which has a very cheap road tax
just wondered how they drive?

Very happy with my 2015 1.4 Plenty of power for me, but then I'm not a boy racer!

Thank you for your reply is yours the Auto version? read somewhere there is a semi automatic is this true?

The 1.5, even brand new now, has well documented running problems due to it being mapped very lean to get it through the WLTP testing process.

There was a new road tax scheme introduced on cars registered after April 2017 hence the difference.
