I'm sure i have read previously that 16V GTi standard were round about that figure BHP. But when the VR6 was introduced they put down on paper that a 16V gti was 150BHP standard, so it don't damage the sales of a VR6 apparantly.

My mate was telling me ages ago that some 16V owners have had they car on dyno's and its been over 150BHP standard. 

What do you think is it true?

even so that engine has done near 200k and would have lost horses along the way.. to be 171 now it would have had to have been 175-180 new!

Good point, Who knows what the crack is with these engines.

I think it'll remain a mystery

there are fewer and fewer on eBay now, it's hard to find a decent 16v mk3 these days I think. I'm hanging on to mine until the end!

There is one other way. Track down the owner of the 16v ann, that was on here for sale that had done 35,000 miles from new. And ask him to put it on dyno.

Would love to see that

A lot of VW engines have been proven to have more BHP when loosened up with a few miles. Quite how true 171 is I'm not sure.

Khare and VR6_Wherry both had decent results with a few miles on the clock near enough standard AFAIR.
