Which engine model do I have???

Hi guys,

Been reading this forum for a while and you helped me make the decision to purchase my first golf!

Got a black 3 door 1.8T which I love but I am not sure what the difference is between AUM/AGU/ etc?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Should answer all your engine code questions

Spot on, thanks.

Is there much difference between them then? Looks like i've got an ARX

Main difference between them being that engines from AUM + came with the better Ko3s turbo where as engines before it only came with the ko3 turbo.

They come with the same power but an engine with a Ko3s will see higher gains from a remap. Thats the main difference, there are others like throttle cables and stuff but to honest I cant remember off the top of my head lol
