I believe there were two states of tune for the 8v

one at 90bhp the other at 115 bhp (roughly) for the P and R reg cars - don't know why.

Probably still a PB engine though.

Big car small engine - deal with it.

The 90bhp was a 1.8 it was never used in the MK3 GTI they're all 2.0 litre 115bhp The only other 90bhp engine was the diesel, definately not in the MK3 GTI
The 11.5 bhp engine you talk of pimpster, I think it must of come out of your lawnmower mate  ;)

"one at 90bhp the other at 115 bhp (roughly) for the P and R reg cars "

This was quoted to me by a VW garage.


It sounded like bully - but I saw the car - it was badged as a GTi but didn't have enough torque to pull the skin off a rice pudding

I agree with Glen.

90bhp was never a GTI. but i suppose thats what an 8v feels like.... ;)

Slim Shady one piece of invaluable advice mate, never, never believe any 'Quote' given to you by a VW (dealership) garage, they are without a doubt the most cretinous bunch of ijots you could ever have the misfortune to get conned by.
Just get yourself on here these guys know more about Golf GTI's than any of those sheysters!
