is this a GTI????

[andy100]

i recently bought a mk3 golf gti 2.0 8 v R reg.  When i lifted up the bonnet the engine looked weird like if half of it was missing or something, i bought it anyway as it looked nice and it was cheap.  But know im wondering if this is really a gti, it says so on the logbook but theres nothing on the engine to say it is a GTI 8 v, how do i find out if this is a fake please help me. thanks

The 8v isn't really a GTi so don't worry.

Isnt a GTI??? change the record mate you're getting boring.
We 8 valve owners love our cars give it a rest eh.

VR6 >

Andy, Dont worry mate it doesnt say anything on my R Reg's engine either.  I cant see anyone faking an 8 valve but you never know!
Fingers crossed eh but it sounds to me like u gotta bargain there!

Engine code on the log book should start with AGG

and yes the 8v engine does look like half of it is missing - well compared to the 16v

if it has 5stud wheels & rear disks then its a gti at least, all lower models had 4 stud

Right with all of this NOT a GTI stuff , i am off to form a GOLF GL forum, then a f**k the lot of you ... anyone coming ?

Nah B*llocks to that VR6 can go and form his own forum.  The I love the sound of my own voice forum, no other members allowed only him where he can   his own ass!
Anyway if you're being a purist VR6 then yours aint a GTI theres a GTI badge on mine but I dont see one on yours bloody good car granted but no cigar my son, I think that deserves one of your  's VR6!!
Come ON!!!!

Not bad just trying to figure out how to shoehorn a Dodge Viper engine into me engine bay, it might work if i saw it in half.
