1.8t badge??
« on: 04 June 2004, 15:57 »
Last night I brought a 200yr (w) Golf GTI Turbo, love the car!! Only thing is I always thought the gti badge was in red when its a turbo or am I mistaken?

Cheers guys!!

I owned a Mk 4 GTI 1.8 Turbo before i brought my Mk 3 Vr6 :)
Ive always assumed the turbos have a red I on the back where it says GTI and the standard 2.0 GTI's are just in chrome

There's a long thread somewhere in this section covering this topic (too lazy to find it) i think a conclusion was made though!
for the record the "GTI" badge on my '99 1.8T is entirely silver.

just my 2 cents

but the standard 1.8T with 150bhp is all sliver and the 1.8T with 180bhp has the red I

I think. Some one will correct me if i'm wrong though
If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z, X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.

i've got a 1.8T 150bhp and my GTI 'I' is red........i always thought that the 1.8T was red, the 1.8 GTI was silver and the 2.0 GTI was silver.

Don't look down your nose at the all silver GTI badge, It could be a PD150 as mine has the all silver badge.......... ;D

I thought only the anniversary diesels had gti badges? I thought the red TDI badge signified 150hp?

oh well

The red 'I' has no significance what so ever, its only something to do with lazy dealers that couldn't be bothered to put the all silver badges on, when they got delivered from where ever they originally came from!!!

Its all better now very shiny, but now the windows have gone again! and shocks are squeaking like mice!!aarrgghhh
