Early and late mk5 gti engine differences
« on: February 23, 2013, 11:41:27 pm »
I would like to find out if the engine in the early mk5 gti 2004-05 is the same as the 2006-2008 gti. I have owned both early and late and i was told a few years ago the later 06-08 gtis engine is not the same...? Is this true
