you will need to solve it cos if you ever need to make a big insurance claim (such as it getting nicked or you running out of talent on a corner) there would be a discrepancy between your V5 and your insurance documentation which will void your policy due to misreprasentation

Very good point!

The link refers to the TSi 170, which is Supercharged and turbocharged, and by all accounts is a bit quick.

Does the sticker on the inside of the drivers door aperture say GTI?

Service book should also tell you, if a GTI, and the engine code.



what sticker is this ?

thanks for that guys - will chase it up with the DVLA, is a good point that if something were to happen to the car claiming might be an issue since its missrepresented on the V5.

saying that might be saving on insurance and since its the DVLA's screw up might be ok in the end

my engine definitley looks exactly the same as that picture

cheers

i have never had any doubts it hasnt been a GTI until i got the V5 through and to be honest i didnt seriously think it wasnt just strange that the DVLA doesnt classify my car as a GTI, and what does knowlege have to do with owning a car? i joined this forum to increase my knowelge about mk5 GTI's, you dont have to pass some GTI knowelge quiz to be able to own one.

in my opinion if you are buying a premium product it should have a support system where you dont have to know anything, you should just be able to take it to a dealer and get any problem sorted, unfortunatley that isnt the case and the more you know the better really!!
