hang on, wait it cant be because the kerb weight of the first one is 1100kg and they never did a 2.0 in Mark 2 regardless of country.

this is the 16v mark 2 stats, albeit 1986 so it will be a bit heavier than that for the later ones but not as much as 1100kg

That first link is a mk2, vw did a 2.0 16v for the US market.
Also the fuel system is listed as k-jet, ABF engines have a digifant system.

Ok Neaty, i'm gonna stop teasing you now  :tongue:
The exact spec for the mk3 16v ABF engine is 110kw, which is as you say slightly less than 150bhp  :laugh:
However that link you posted still isn't listing the correct engine  :evil:

Hey I have a 8v and am well happy with it, it's my 1st GTI, maybe I should have gone for a 16v , never driven one but you can do more with them so I have been told. 

I have been told that it's more fun driving an 8 V?

dont get me wrong 8v's are a good car, but i was a bit spoilt after going from a Mark 2 16v to my Mark 3 8v so its hard to compare but with the 16v unit and the solidarity that mark 3's have it can only be good.

In fact I miss that Mark 3 8v tbh, gonna see if my dad will put me on his insurance for his
