Does anyone know what vauxhall did to up the bhp to 152bhp in the mokka x, Was it just a software update or was it something else.

Probably a bit late, but the 152ps unit only came on Mokka X with the AWD auto variant. It is the same unit as in the Astra K. Just had my engine replaced under warranty as cylinder 1 bore damaged and piston rings and part of the piston went walkabout.

The unit in the FWD Mokka's A14NET or B14NET, Mokka X just B14NET, is a 1364 cc unit has all four coils on one strip. The AWD one is B14XFT which is 1399 cc, has individual coil packs and appears to have a factory lagged pipe from the intercooler to the top of the intake manifold. I have also noticed that the tail of the exhaust has a bigger diameter compared to the lower powered 1.4T.

I thought a big difference between the engines is that the higher powered B14XFT has direct injection whereas the B14NET has sequential port injection. Direct injection petrol engines get the reputation of drying out the inlet valves and stems leading to sticking etc.
