What kW output ???

[Mat thrown]

Hi ! I'm looking at buying a D40 stx ( can't wait ) and the one I'm looking at has on the plate build date ( DEC 09 ) but it's registered as a 2010 model , does this mean that it's a 128kw motor or the 140kw motor ? I'm hearing different info . Thanks a lot for any light use can shine on this for me !!

Easy enough to tell from inspecting the motor too, but it should be the 126kW engine, which has the turbocharger sitting fairly high on the vehicle's left hand side. The 140kW engine's turbocharger sits lower and is a little harder to see.

My garage has a labelled picture of my engine bay (126kW) - with a close-up of the turbocharger actuator (sits on top of the turbo).
