I bought my 06 plate golf GTI around a month ago, today i received the V5 through for it and on the V5 it states that the car is a golf gt fsi?

I am confused by this, I am almost 100% certain that its a GTI, there are a few manufacturer stickers under the boot carpet stating its a GTI, the handbook also has a sticker stating its a GTi although the handbook is in dutch which confused me.

Is there any certain way of checking if the car is a GTI bar a rolling road ?

Thanks

you could ring your local VW dealer and give them the VIN number. their computer will give the vehicle details.

Everything seems tto coincide with a GTI is there any chance it was improperly registered ? Will need to contact VW to bottom this out

Not trying to be funny here! did you not check the V5 before handing over the cash.

or is it after it has been sent away it came back different. More than likley sounds like an import with the log book details entered wrong.

Checked log book all seemed fine, dont have a pic of the engine as im at work but its the standard fsi cover which ive seen on all the gti's has everything relates to the gti. Its had 1 female owner before me and the car was on mobility i was told certainly had a disability tax fisc on when i bought it, was bought from a reputable dealer. Im certain there has just been an issue with the log book. Just hopin to het this bottomed out
