Title: 2.0 GTi with 6 speed Box ?
Post by: DiscoKandy on 25 January 2008, 10:54
Hi,

Quick question, did the 2.0 GTI (2000/W) ever come with a 6 speed gearbox ? as far as I was aware they only ever came with a 5 speed ?

i think there is only the 115ps+ derv ones that come with a 6sp box. Not even sure if the GTi t has. Someone in the know will confirm that.

115bhp TDI and above

derv = diesel

PS = new version of BHP

Hope that now makes sense  :smiley:

i dont think its just the GT TDIs. I think it might be any diesel with the 115hp engine and above. Someone with a better memory than me will probably correct me.

strange, have been offered a 2.0 GTI 5dr (2000/W) with a 6 speed box apparently, a check through the DVLA with the reg plate confirms it is a 6 speed too  :undecided: perhaps an error.

Thats strange.

You are sure that its the 2.0 petrol gti and not the 1.9GTi TDI as iv seen them with only the GTI badge?

2.0 were only 5 spd

PD diesels were 6 spd, normal tdi's 5 spd

1.8T's were 5 spd until the AUQ engine (2002 onwards) when they got a 6 spd box

Something definately odd about this car, also has a sunroof but no Air Con, I thought Air con was standard on a GTI.

99% sure the 2.0 only came in 5 speed. Mines a 2001 2.0 and its 5 speed so no idea what his barking on about. Have you seen the car? Does actually have 6 gears or is it just something his told you?

i've never heard of a 6 speed 2.0 either as far as i knew it was only the 115 BHP, 130 BHP, 150 BHP GT TDI's and the 1.8T 180 that had 6 speed

air con wasn't standard till 2001 or something

is it actually 6 speed or has some mupet put the wrong knob on it?

My 2.0 has got a 5speed gearbox aircon and no suroof, sounds a bit iffy to me but never know it could be genuine

im comfuzed. i have aircon/climate control and a sunroof. it seems most people have one or the other????

Post by: AlanD on 27 January 2008, 14:49
My understanding is they are all extras, so depends what boxes the person ticked when bought from new.

Certainly a 6 speed option was not there. I think his just talking out his bum or got his model mixed up.

all that can be done is go and see it, start it up and if it sounds like a tractor charging at u, u have the answer.

then its a case of deciding weather ur on the dark polouting/gorjus sounding family.

or the greenpeace transit family.

Leather was just another option.
