confusion over model - advise needed!
« on: 10 December 2008, 20:21 »
i should be taking ownership of my gt tdi 150 soon the well known supplier advertised it as a 150 but on getting quotes for insurance on the net it shows as a 130? has anyone else come accross this as the garage is to far to go to check it out atm  :lipsrsealed:

heres a pic, hopefully someone can tell from the alloys or trim or even the ride height as i've read that the 150pd has better suspension??



 :tongue:

mine comes up as a 130 on some insurance websites but it is a 150 so I wouldn't pay attention to them.
check the sticker in the boot if it say 110kw its a 150  :smiley:

Yep mine was badged as a GTI, my bosses old car was all red TDI, guess it was whatever the dealers had in stock at the time
