What have I got TDi/GTi/Anniversary edition?

[ju suis le fromage]

I have read countless threads about this subject and I am none the wiser.

The car I bought came direct from a dealership in Germany according to the log book but was registered in England on a 53 plate. The car is right hand drive, with a GTi (red I) badge although judging by other threads this means nothing. The engine has a red TDI badge on top, and according to the log book the car is 150bhp

The car has a load of extras such as Xenon headlights, headlight washers, rock hard suspension (not sure if this is sports or not) six gears, electric windows all round, heated and electric door mirrors, anti glare rear view mirror, trip computer, cruise control, 16 spoke VW alloy wheels.

I have insured this as a 150 TDI, is this correct? And can someone please explain the difference between the TDi/Gti and anniversary edition?

You would know if you got an Anni edition as it has different interior and exterior, the Anni's only come as 52 plates too I believe. The seats are different, it has a certain type of 18" alloys, different rear valance, front splitter, steering wheel and is lower than a standard Gti

Gti's are petrol models only, but they come as 1.8 non turbo's, 1.8 turbo's and the 2.0ltr 8v's.

You no doubt have a GT Tdi mate, which is a 150bhp engine and comes with the mods that you have mentioned.

I have seen a 150 TDI badged from the factory as a GTi with a red i.

I have seen GT TDI's badged as a Red "i" too.

Then they guy who had it (who was someone who I know), turned round to me and asked how come my car had also been given a Red "i" - Clearly he failed to realise that his diesel car had the Red "i" since it now came close to the performance of my 1.8T car, and not the other way round! 

I had to put the poor chap in his place!

As Ash said thats a GT TDI for sure; sounds similar to Ridge's

my book actually lists mine as a GTI-exec 

As Ash said thats a GT TDI for sure; sounds similar to Ridge's

sounds exactly the same as mine but slightly younger

the difference between the TDI 150 and the anniversary include;

18" BBS rims,
even lower suspension (TDI 150 has the same as the 1.8T),
bigger brakes,
body kit,
anniversary trim inc unique gear stick & steering wheel,
anniversary cloth seats,
anniversary headlights (smoked sort of)

i think the headlining was black too 

the TDI 150 is the best MK4 anyway

the TDI 150 is the best MK4 anyway 

after the 130 TDI

You cant be saying that the 1.8 petrol is better than the 2.0 oil burner?
