Post by: Rhyso on 20 November 2007, 20:04: early 2001 for the 115 i believe then late 01 for the 130; 150 was first introduced into the Anniversarys in 02 and then later in the GT TDI's

Post by: Pete H on 18 February 2008, 19:36: maybe it isn't, just it has the D and the I in red on the back, always thought this was the 130 bhp one.

lol

yeah for some reason VW seemed to mix up all the different colour variations of badges in a big bucket and let a blind monkey choose which went on each car....As you'd expect, he didn't do to well.

There maybe some loose pattern to it, but it's no hard and fast rule. Best way to tell is the kW rating on the label in the boot well....to be fair noone told the monkey this. :grin:
