TonyGTI Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hello again, Whats the difference between diffent 1.8 T engine codes, i thought they were all the same, i.e. AUM, mines a AGU. Also why do they make different engines? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] ....Evolution and development onwards and upwards in order to improve and better compete with other manufacturers. Or, if you meant the question another way: To offer the consumer a wider range of options to better suit them and gain their custom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyGTI Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Thanks Robin. Is mine (AGU) the newer version? I read somewhere that the other code i said can be chipped up to 210 BHP. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 ....Sorry, Tony, but I know absolutely nothing about the earlier Mk GTI's. You might get more info by posting this in the VW Technical forum here or visiting this forum where there are plenty Mk1-Mk5 friendly owners: GOLF GTI UK FORUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I'm sure there is information on all the 1.8T engine codes at www.seatcupra.net My previous MY2003 Leon Cupra R (210bhp) was AMK. The later 225bhp variant had a BAM code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemod Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I had an AGU which was a 2000 car and the throttle was cable connected. In 2001 I think they went to the AUM which was the first of the fly by wire throttles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyGTI Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 When i test drove the golf (W reg, 2000) with the AGU engine the accelerater seemed really keen, just a tickle with the right foot and it revved right up, alot more than the golf i just sold, but that was only a 2.0 GTi.
