How to tell the diffrence between ......

[jonthebarber]

How do you tell the diffrence between each Eos without looking under the bonnet ?? I have seen a couple of sport Eos`s (At dealer`s) with the red "I" (In FSI) Does that mean turbo or non-turbo ? Are there any other tale-tale visual clues before i ask ? Hope that makes sense .... :confused:

the 2.0T and 3.2 both have twin exhaust pipes.
sport models have cherry red rear lights but that is to subtle too detect.

Cheers David . Do all the 2.0 sport`s (turbo and Non-turbo) have twin pipes ? And what about this FSI badge , with the "I" being red .... Whats all that about ?? :aargh4:

In the past a red 'I' on a golf meant the turbo version but with the eos its fsi (non turbo) and tfsi (turbo) thats in the UK at least.
The fsi and tdi sports dont have exposed twin exhaust pipes although I am told they have twin pipes but they are just hidden under the bumper. Dont know why VW did that.

David/Jon,

I have a 2.0 turbo Eos - the red "I" on the badge is what distinguishes it from the non-turbo, which has a silver "I" - I've not seen any Eos badged "TFSI" - is that on later models such as yours david ? Mine is a Jan 07.

No pjgraham86 is spot on over the rear badges but on my order form it was described as a TFSI.
I had mine de-badged when I got it so can't rush out and check. ;)
