Just bought my second Golf TDI

[mwill82]

Hey guys, i'm new on this forum as you can probably tell, and i've just picked up my second golf tdi.

Its a V reg TDI. Bit confused though, the dealer says the car is a GT TDI, but insurance websites say it is an SE TDI. Is there a way to make sure?

cool

ok so now i know its GT TDi, what would you lot do as insurance is involved? Accept the model they specify when you type in the reg number, or alter it so you are actually insured for the GT?

I was thinking of altering it just incase i do have to make a claim, and in case they void my claim if they find out i've got the wrong model insured.

Hi, you DO have to sort it with the insurance. I have just had to do the same with my bora sport PD 150, as the insurance's computer (linked to the DVLA) had it down as an "ST". Being as the most powerful ST was 130 bhp, and also it's group 8 as opposed to group 13 for the Sport, I changed it at the insurance office, and notified the DVLA too. Basically, you are not insured now, you have paid your premium for nothing! The insurance companies will do anything to try to get out of paying, don't make it easy for them! All the best!
