8v or 16v?
« on: 11 January 2008, 19:06 »
This may be a very stupid question but how do I work out if my MK2 Golf GTI is an 8 valve or 16 valve? It was sold to me as an 8 valve but the car is so fast I don't quite believe it... :shocked:

If it says DOHC 16v on the top, its a 16v.

if the engne looks rectangular and a bit pants, its an 8v.

if its 8v its still 120bhp / tonne which is indeed quite fast.
