Getting insurance on a 1.8 Turbo
« on: 04 October 2006, 15:07 »
I have a Mk4 2.0GTI at the moment and it ain't really doing it for me.  I want to trade it in and get a MK4 1.8T but insurance is a problem. I'm currently paying £2300 a year for my 2.0GTI insurance and don't really want to spend much more. I need your help to find a insurer that will quote a young MALE driver happy on a VW MK4 1.8T. OR even a diesel with 130/150 BHP  :evil:

Thanks BEN

Bell are a relatively new company/subsiduary so they need customers.

http://www.bell.co.uk/

I went from a 1.2 Fiesta (75bhp) to a 1.8T Golf GTI (150Bhp) and my premium only went up £200 quid.

Im 23, 5 years no claims.

But I would try HIC first

i found elephant the cheapest for my 2.0 at £900 and im 20 no ncb. the 1.8t would have pushed me up anothre 600+ so im keeping it for a year or so to hopefully build up some ncb and then get the turbo.
