Title: 2007 Golf GT TDi - no exhaust pipes on rear?
Post by: The Doc on 21 July 2007, 10:29

Hi all

I've just bought the boss a 2007 GT TDi but it has no rear exhaust pipes showing.

Are they all / some like this or do I have a lemon?

i think the 170bhp have pipes, 140 ones dont


Good to see ya back here.

EDIT: just seen your other post bout the new car being a 170, I think it should have the pipes

It's fast - much faster than the 140 we had and has the all important 170ps sticker?

Its from Dane VW in Chester so I'd have thought it would be right.

Meanwhile back at the ranch......

Doc, The VW brochure clearly states "Twin exhaust tailpipe (170PS engines only)"


That sticker looks a bit wonky to me   :shocked::

Is that not refering to the 1.4 GT Petrol with 170bhp??

Friend's GT TDi 170 has got the twin pipes showing - and thats also from Dane Chester incidentally.  His is a 56 plate if that makes any difference.

Post by: Hurdy on 23 July 2007, 21:17

Could it be an import? or do non-uk spec imports still have the twin exhaust?

Maybe it became a cost option in 08 spec?

you only get the pipes showing if you spec the DPF diesel particulate filter

Doc, that engine sticker is in completely the wrong place, so I'm guessing it is a fraudulent sticker.

The genuine engine sticker is applied at the factory, and should be on the bottom outer face of the "B" pillar, ie, facing your toes in that piccy.

Both of the data stickers, one inside the front cover of the service book, and the other under the boot carpet stuck to the floorpan or sometimes on the inside of the spare wheel well - will state the engine power in kilo-watts.  Your V5C will also have the engine power.

Whilst it is not unknown to get the occasional "mis-build" from the factory, that engine sticker is very clearly wrong.
