I am off to buy a MK4 tomorrow from ebay
I want the 150bhp but was under the impression this might be the 115bhp...how do I tell??? Quick reply would be good :)

Thanks, Ali

GTIs are 150 standard. (Unless its the 180 model)

Think your thinkin of the TDI that have pd115, pd130 and pd150.

Actually the 2.0 gti is 115bhp and the 1.8na gti is 125bhp :wink:

If it's got a turbo it's 150bhp+

It's a 1.8gti turbo 20V...I'm a mk2 girl and this will be my first Mk4 so want to know it's a 150bhp not a 115bhp :/

Put the reg in a comparison insurance site and should tell you. They do a 1.8 20v N/A and a 1.8 20v Turbo like dom said.

Can be pretty confusing :)

As has already been said the colour of the badge doesnt mean anything, VW seemed to just chuck on whatever was lying around.

If it's advertised as a turbo then it probably is, especially with the history that comes with the Car.

The badge means bugger all, it's just what they had to hand at the time. I have a silver I on mine from the factory

It has 2 too many doors for my liking and lots of wood trim :shocked: soon to be changed lol Always been a mk2 girl so this is a bit modern for me but I do like it  :smiley: Shame it has problems straight away but I'm sort of used to that now  :tongue: You gotta love the Golf!

but the apk has 200cc more which is great for pulling caravans :laugh:
Title: Re: Is a mk4 20v turbo 150bhp with a chrome badge???
Post by: Wazzzer on 01 January 2014, 02:01
200cc more displacement and 10bhp LESS power lol
Title: Re: Is a mk4 20v turbo 150bhp with a chrome badge???
Post by: gazareth on 01 January 2014, 02:18
but it needs that extra power to pull along the weight of the 12 extra valves it has :laugh:
