wanna prove your mate wrong? forget the badges, they meaning nuthing!!! anyway what will the "GTi" badge prove?

Check ur engine code, show it to him, end of story. do a "search" for engine codes, and ull have ur answer.

yes... quite true, but as has already been said... dont trust the badges, the 3 digit engine code is the only way to prove anything regarding the engine power...

well.... yes you have a point there and no, your friends are wrong as you have proven

the 'true' gt tdis aren't gt tdis, they are gti's. the 150 bhp tdi is the true gti of the range for me and yes, they were badged up with the full silver GTI badge.

i remember a few weeks ago in my local tescos, i was admiring a pearl black gt tdi (gti) and the owener came back, saw i was drooling and offered to let me have a sit in... had those gorgeous recaros fitted too....

along came a few chavs, who promptly pointed out how silly we were, sticking a GTI badge on a diesel... myself and this fellow vw owner simply chuckled at them....

ignorance is bliss.... but is so funny to others

Why are some GTi badges all silver and some part silver and part red? Mine's all silver, what's that mean?

Yea Chavs Are Good To Laugh At .wonder If They Have Gti Badges On The Back Of Those Baseball Caps!!

I Dont Know Here And I Could Be Wrong In Reference To Vee Dubbers Question But I Think The Red "i" Is In Relation To The Type Of Fuel System In The Car .you Know The Way Theres Commonrail Or Electric Injection.the Silver Gti Could Mean That Its Not The Pd Engine .cant Be Too Sure Though..paul

from what i have found out about mine from the glasses guide, is the 150BHP golf is listed as a GTI TDI 150, the PD meaning 16v probably what that little red I refers to.
