You've just bought the cabrio for ?500 and now you have found a 16V lump under the bonnet.......you lucky lucky ' :o :o :o'.
Sounds like someone in the past has stuffed a 16V lump under the bonnet to replace the 8V unit.

actually it's a precious metal, usually worn as jewellery, but can be utalised in electronic equipment, pirates teeth, or as a basis for the relationship between different currencies

Yes its a Cabrio and yes its a 16v DOHC engine.... Garage last night told me its a 2.0L. Can that be right???

Had it on the Ramps and noticed:
Custom built Stainless steel longlife exhaust...
Yellow Shocks (look like Eibach)
No rust or welding on sills or anywhere!!

Its got a 5 speed box too.

Do i qualify for bargain of the year?

Aha now that would be telling. No seriously I picked this up at the weekend:-

http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=2004;start=0

Cost me ?500 less than yours.  ;D
Actually thats not altogether true as I had to tow it back so I did incur a ?15 charge for the use of an A frame and tailboard, plus I did buy the guy a few beers.
Still an absolute bargain. I have had a look underneath it now and the chassis has no rot in the usual places.......can't believe it!  :o
