Can anyone confirm this is a FSI engine? 99% Sure
« on: December 10, 2013, 09:23:26 pm »
Im 99% sure this is an FSI engine (the fact it has 'FSI' is massive letters on the cowl is a giveaway...), but it's from an 2008 golf, which I thought had TSI engines?



Cheers

All Mk5 gtis in the UK came with the FSI engine. Only in North America did the TSI engine appear in the later Mk5s'.   :smiley:

Thanks for the amazingly quick reply  :happy2:

That's a shame, I'd heard the TSI was preferable over the previous FSI (better mileage, cambelt to camchain, no cam follower issues) etc

Never mind,  thought i'd found the one, but i'll keep looking ! :sad1:,
