Confused is this GT Tdi a 140 or 170
« on: October 05, 2013, 07:37:40 pm »
My mate decided that he wanted a Mk5 golf and we found this one

http://www.smartautosnortheast.co.uk/used-cars/volkswagen-golf-2-0-gt-tdi-5dr-blyth-201307187879331

The add and guy at the dearlership say's it is the 140 bhp one,  but when my mate rang his insurance they said it was the 170 bhp.

To be fair it does go well and has the dual climate control to but I always thought the 170 only came as a GT sport not the standard gt tdi it also has the exhaust hidden too not like the GT sport 170.

Any help would be great.

Cheers Dan

Definitely a 140 mate.

Besides the other differences you already mentioned, the 170 has Winter mode W button on the centre console which this doesnt.

Cheers for the reply.............

One thing i dont understand is that all the price comparison websites for insurance is saying it a 170bhp when its a 140bhp......I find this odd.

what is the winter mode w button.

Cheers Dan

even so, but still why would the insurance say its a 170bhp? when its not! the only think I said to my mate to do it go to VW with the reg or VIN and ask them.

Seems strange.

Easiest and quickest way to identify a GT 170 is the exhaust. If it has a double tip straight through the bumper it's a GT TDi 170

I understand the 170 comes with the twin exhaust, different bumper, bigger wheels, rear privercy glass etc I just find it strange when the insurance company and all the comparison website Are saying its a 170 when it obviously ant, that's the part I'm finding confusing. Is there away to change it as the insurance company we're being very difficult in my mate demanding it a 140.

He is planning on remapping it anyway so will find out for sure then

Definitely a 140. Also sure the 170 never came out until 56 plates but I may be corrected?

Seems like it wrongly registered

I work for Swindon insurance in I.T
And I can confirm that insurance companies do get it wrong quiet a lot of the times. We deal with this all the time.
You just have to ask them to put it in manually rather than via reg number.

I'm sure you can get a pre face lift GT in the 170 version, I remember test driving one, although I can't remember if it was an import. The 170 GTs were produced from June 06.
