Title: Hello from Ireland New Member
Post by: TFE on 05 November 2010, 12:13

Hello there,
Ive been looking at this great forum for the last few weeks and am now a member :smiley:
I have found a lot of infrmation about certin things I wanted to do to the car :smiley:
Heres my 1 burning question AUM engine code  its a 1.8t 150bhp for sure yes???
Just got my full licence,at 32 :embarassed:always dreamed of owning a gti,which I now do
BUT BUT it says on my insurance its just 125bhp,reading the forum I found if I have AUM on the code its 150bhp
The log book says AUM,am I driving the right car??

Welcome to the forum

All 1.8t's were 150bhp, non turbo was 125bhp is yours 100% a Turbo.

As Wayne said AUM is definately a turbo  :smiley:

Welcome to the site, get yourself down to R-Tech for a remap  :evil:

New wheels not fitted,what a gut burner :sad:
The guy in the shop said to me"these will fit your car,no problem"
Had no lock nut key,so they had to be remove another way.
1st lock nut removed and I recived a phone call,"wrong size alloys"
O well,fresh start and I know I have the correct car :smiley:

thanks for the replys...

I am still confused with the insurance company saying it is 125bhp

Rang my insurance company,they have the car listed as 125bhp.
Went to VW main dealer and asked,I was told its 150bhp.
Is it possible to do a reverse mapping?lowering the bhp??
This is all I can think of.

Thanks for the welcomes
Some good news,I rang the garage that sold the car in '04
and they confirmed the engine code.
Here is were it went wrong,whilst doing an online quote
I entered 125bhp golf gti :embarassed:
So the guy getting my insurance ready just presumed it was a 125bhp gti.
All sorted with insurance company now.
Let the fun begin:)
