What model is my car GT vs GT Sport? + speedo problem
« on: May 31, 2020, 02:13:33 pm »
I barely know anything about cars and I can't figure out what model my car is (TSI DSG plate:57). It's been modified here and there and it's possible the front bumper has been changed as things are a bit wonky like they've had an accident possibly. It's also an import from Japan I think.

Unrelated but my speedo is waay off also, going 30mph it shows 40, going 50 it shows 70.. Increasing the diff more with higher speed. Not even the vw garage knew how to fix it. Tried vcds changing instruments codings and whatnot but nothing changes. Not sure if anyone got an idea or clue what it could be?

Anyway, so my guess is my car is either a
GT or a GT sport (more likely a GT)
 :thinking:

Don't know how to upload pics so I'll have to write:
Rear badges: "Golf" to the left and "Tsi" to the right. Silver "t" and red "si"
Front badge: silver "gt"
Tinted Read windows, almost look a bit greenish
Front headlights doesn't look dark as far as I can tell (seen people saying the sport has got darker ones)
My steering wheel hasn't got any badges on the silver bottom bit
It's got a turbo boost and a gauge on the dashboard.
Seats have this square pattern (can't explain) except on the sides where its plain normal fabric.
Mp3 playback? Not sure how to check this. Think I remember seeing something saying Mp3 but might be wrong.

Thankful for any input

If it's an import, are you sure you're not just looking at KPH rather than MPH?  :grin:
