Insurance question.
« on: 13 March 2017, 08:21 »
My Insurance company tell me that they have two options for my car.

Golf GTI Performance 230 or

Golf GTI performance 230 Launch

Can anyone confirm which one is correct or when I can find out the Information please, I need to make sure it correct as you know what Insurance companies are like for not paying out.

Thanks :smiley:

Bought my GTI/PP in December and had the same question popped up. Contacted the dealers who informed me that my car (2016) was a Tsi and not Launch. Launch was used for the first GTI/PP's

If you bought a 2015 car it will be a Mk7 GTI 220hp. (not launch, not PP, not facelift)
