I think they are 150bhp but no Turbo, 1.8T better to be honest ??

Yep it was 2000/2001 they changed over and saw sense to have 4 valves per cylinder rather than 2.

It was a bit of an odd ball model, but it had to be in the range to add an Auto with a powerful engine. The only other Auto option was the 1.6 at the time I think  :wink:

They sound quite nice at full chat but drink fuel and they ain't that quick either!

Should have reworded it, it is a VR6 block then.

no it's a different block. None of the Golf range had a true V engine, they are all VR by definition

It is one block yes but VW still called it a V6, and it is 15 degree angle, VR was German for very narrow
