Which TD GTI?
« on: 13 July 2007, 18:05 »
Guys,

I've come across a TD GTI 6Speed Manual on an 02 plate, but although I've read through some posts on here I can't for the life of me work out whether it's 130bhp or 150bhp.  I've checked the log book, the service manual, hpi check, the colour of the TDI badge & had a look for a sticker in the boot but can't suss it out.
I've got some pics so can someone please give me the answer  :rolleyes:

Cheers Very Much!

Usually the d and i being red means its 130bhp. If the whole of the tdi is red than it should be 150 bhp.

Diesel power all the way

Um, not really... there's a fair few posts about it in this board. Sure fire way of knowing is the figure on that sticker, reads the power measured in kW. I can't see it on that photo, my eyesight's bad enough without blurred photos :laugh:

I`d say it`s defo a 130, but its funny because Motorpoint cars more often than not come fully loaded.
As in 3 headrest, climate and winterpack, this one seems to have just the 3 headrests but its just somert else less to go wrong.
How much they lookin for it? because its a low milage one @50 K init

If you have a closer look at the blured picture you can see a number 96....this refers to 96kW = 130BHP.

ISNT THERE SOMETHING WITH THE REAR HEADRESTS?

DO 130S HAVE 2 REAR AND THE 150S HAVE 2 REAR HEADRESTS (OR VICE VERSA)
