Hello Vinay and welcome to our forum. Your car is very likely a 6C, if it's from 2016. It's the facelifted 6R, it was on the market between 2014 and 2017.
The 1.2 TSI engines in these cars are very reliable (as was the previous generation). One of the minor issues, that affected mostly the first batches of cars, were the camshaft adjustment mechanisms. These operate the variable inlet timing camshaft. I believe the part has been revised quite quickly and shouldn't affect your model.

Otherwise, very reliable engines and cars. Congratulations on your new car, hope you'll enjoy it.

Dear Sir,

Thank you for very fast reply .

Only one thing i forgot in my previous inquiry which is :

If this engine is ready for software ECU upgrade to add more 20Bhp in order to bring to 110Bhp instead of 90Bhp (default) this because there is R-Line model with 105Bhp which according to my research seems to be same engine as 90Bhp in terms of mechanical parts (Turbo,intercooler,injectores and sensors).

Yes, the engine has been sold as CJZD with 81kW. However, one should keep in mind that this comes with some different mechanics such as brakes and gearbox.
