well i jus had an insurance company ring me to giv me a quote coz they new its due for renewal
anyway as she was taking details my car came up on the system as 125bhp?
i thought it was 150 :sad:
wat going on??????????
-
the 1.8 non turbo is 125 bhp?
-
oh f**k nos what there on about then ha ha stupid idiots
-
easiest way to find out is to look in the boot just next to the spare wheel, there should be a sticker on the side of the well which will have your engine Kw output on it
-
which engine do you have? if its the 1.8 20v then its 125, if its the 1.8 20v turbo then its 150 or 180.
-
It also says the kw rating in the handbook :smiley:
-
well do you have a intercooler and turbo? that would surely give the game away to you linz.......... will be minimum of 150 BHP if it does
-
yep deffo a turbo :D
-
same happened to me they said mine was 125bhp that was only with 1 insurance company tho the other all said mine was 150bhp.
-
Can any1 tell me the differance from the 1.8T = 150bhp & the 1.8T = 180bhp
Thanks.

Thanks.
the 180bhp are the newer mk4's
they also had the option of full leather iterior
-
full leather was always an option..
easiest way to tell the difference, the 180bhp will have a 6 speed gearbox, 150 5 speed.
see the sticky posts at the top to find out about the technical differences
-
oh i thought the full leather was only available on the newer ones like 02 and newer??
-
nah, they did change the type of seats available around that time though
-
umm cos wernt the cloth recaros stopped in the later models?

No, the 150m AUM has VVT. :wink:
-
Yes

No, you could spec the older 'proper' seats (Recaro's) :tongue: with leather. :wink:
-
no i mean what gives the engine 30 more bhp? bigger turbo or suttin??? Looking to buy thats all!!
Thanks.

The 150 bhp Golf has the KO3 Turbo, the 180bhp Golf has the KO3s Turbo and cars such as Audi S3's, Leon Cupra 225bhp has the KO4 turbo, pretty sure exactly the same engines, just different turbo's.

if ur looking to buy the 150's are eaier to get more power out of
-
AFAIK The only difference between the 150's and the 180's is the map. Otherwise just the normal AUM with a 6 speed box. The AUM is easier to remap to higher bhp's as it has the KO3s turbo, that said the earlier lumps although a bit trickier to get that power out have a stronger head so can cope with silly power better than the KO3's. So unless you are going in for serious engine mods (ie more than a remap and filter etc) get an AUM. These were available from late 2000 onwards....
-
get some pics of your engine bay up linz, im pretty sure we will be able to tell you from there

No........ MOST of the 150 AUM's have the KO3-S. Easiset ways to spot a 180 are the 6 speed box & the AUQ engine code/132kw power. :afro:
