suppose he could by lying and it may be a 130 coz he's debadged it  :huh: my cars a 51plate so it has the 4branch maifold aswel

Sorry mate but even a standard 130 would make mince meat out of a 2.0

When mine was standard I had enough grunt to keep up with a Civic Type R on the motorway until he changed down a couple of gears and actually found himself in the V-tec zone

Enjoy it but know this - he wasn't really trying and I wouldn't be in these road conditions as one slip and you're off the road

Find out his engine code but either way a 130 / 150 TDI is quicker.

come on guys...he's 18yo and this is his first VW.  We've all been there.  He'll learn disappointment over time.

as long as you enjoy your car thats all that counts
