I think this sticker is correct not wrong.
220PS is equivalent to 217BHP Approx.

PS stands for "pferdestarke". It is almost same as BHP. ie, 1PS is approximately equal to 1 BHP.

So the sticker is correct.

as for Neils 5 door sticker, i can't explain that one ! :grin:




except that the gti does not have 217bhp...

Kw --> bhp is a factor of 1.34.
bhp --> PS is a factor of 1.0139.

So 155 kw = 207bhp = 210PS.

Where 220PS comes from.... ?

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Yes i Realise it's 210BHP but these are efficient Germans so i'm fairly sure the Sticker is correct.

Interestingly if you convert the top speed of a GTD DSG 136MPH to KPH its 220 !!
