stickied at top!!, any spec questions etc stick em here and well see what we can do!!, the specs on the golf range is soooo vast!! uk model/imports etc they all have little bits here and there!!

but as for question, 2.0 8v mk4 gti is 115 bhp, 18.20v turbo is 150 bhp, specs vary pending on original customer demands (optional extras) dont rule out the 1.8 20v gti (non turbo) this model ran for about 1 year and was replaced by the 2.0 8v its 125bhp but its a revvy engine, just thought id mention it as its a option on the age range you are looking for!!

[hoops]

thanks for youre promt replies,much apreaciated.didnt realise the 2.0gti power output was so low(no offence intended).currently run a 2.5vectra sri(pls dont ban me!),am looking 2change and wanted somat similar performance,2.3v5 would be nice replacment just the cost,am used 2vauxhall prices afterall!!again thanks,prob av look at 1.8T gti.

Indeed.  Don't rule out the 1.8 20v non turbo.  I like mine

Why did they stop using the 20v NA unit and use the old 2.0 8v.  Considering seat use it so do skoda and Audi, surely the 1.8 is a better engine.

Thats like having an R32 and replacing it with a Granada scorpuio v6 lump

dunno the 1.8 20v na unit was 'not as driveable' as the old 2.0 8v from the mk3 range so they stopped it and bunged the 8v in, ive driven both and i do prefer mine, yeah its only 10 bhp more than the 8v but its nice and revvy even though u have to keep em up to make rapid progress

[hoops]

interesting reading,and must admit adicted to site already!loads of info!!the cars ive been looking at(?8000-?9000)av average of 80000miles on em,is this an ok mileage for a golf(with history)?2.3v5 in particular??owt to be wary of?

not sure on the v5 matey, theres a thread somewhere in the mk4 section titled 'v5' or something cause they changed from a 5cylinder 10v engine to a 5 cylinder 20v engine, uping the power from 150bhp to 170bhp i think??? dunno what year this happend but going on your buget i think if you could get a v5 youd be looking at the 150bhp model, which although a nice car if i had a choice i would plump for the 1.8t, just my opinion!!!!, the thing to do is test drive as many varients as you can then you have a good idea of what you want, the driving characteristics will no doubt vary from model to model!!

av had two provisional ins quotes this eve both 2000models v5,?555FC+1.8T ?716.was leaning towards v5 purley for the less frantic power delivery,bit like my v6 vectra.suppose cud be swayed if tried em both!
