so there was no 2.0 16v in the MK4, how cr@p is that :huh:

I like the 1.8t MK4 or at a push if moneys get tight the GT TDi 150bhp please.

Jizzam Blue,,,, sorry Jazz Blue. :rolleyes:

I like my Golf, its my first VW and I like the MK4, the red blue dash is great.

dont think they wanted a 2.0 16v as it would have been to close to the 1.8t.......

I think the 1.8t is lower insurance than the MK3 2.0 16v as well, small bonus there.

there is a 2.0 16v GTI Mk4, over the water however the TDI's and 2.0's are known as highlines so not quite GTI's lol, i have a 1.8t and its in my top 3 cars owned defo!! there is a 1.8 non turbo but most folk i know that own them have all wished very soon after that they had held out for the turbo!! good luck and look forward to you in the MK4 section lol.

I know that the 2.0 is the highline on the continent, but I didnt realise they made a 2.0 16v, you sure about this?

im sure the some if not most 2.0 Mk4 gti's are 16v, i looked at a couple before i bought my 1.8t, one had the engine cover removed and id defo say it looked like 2 cam shafts...... may be wrong im sure some one else will be in to confirm or ridicule this lol.

You can not get a UK spec 2.0 16v Mk4 I cant tell you that now.

Post by: ub7rm on 21 November 2007, 12:57
I agree, no such thing.  For some unknown reason VW took a backward step with that one.  Can't understant why, a 2.0 16v would have been a scream.....
