A51ffs Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Hi All, Could anyone please tell me what the difference is if any between a Golf TDI and a Golf GT TDI in terms of BHP and spec, i am referring to 1998 models. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyp Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I may not be 100% correct but i think the TDI came with 90 and 110bhp and the GT TDI came with 115,130 and 150bhp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 The badges are quite irrelevant unfortunately! Some GTIs are badged GTI, some GT TDI, some TDIs come with the 115 and 130 engine.. it totally depends on the car. I don't think there was a 130 or 150 in 1998 though.. so I think it'll be 90, or 110 and I'm quite sure you won't find a 1998 car badged "GT TDI" I'm afraid.

Mook Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 If it was 1998, there were two options of 90 bhp and 110 bhp on the Golf - the 115 bhp engine came in in 1999 with the 6 speed box. The GT TDI had the 110 bhp engine and was sometimes badged as a GT TDI, but that was a dealer fit option. It also had the petrol GTI interior, so it was mainly black, with pinstriped red seats. Oh, and there was the SDI as well, but that was basically the same as the 1.6S petrol, so very low spec. Feck, why do I keep all this stuff in my head - I only had the 98 GTTDI for 9 months...

pingpongpo Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I thought the 130/150's didn't come out until about 2001? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 The 130 replaced the 115 in 2001 (I think!) and then the 150 replaced the 130 in 2002 - I think (again) because my wife's 2002 GTTDI was 150 bhp. This is all too confusing..! B.t.w. A51ffs it is easy to get the 110 TDI remapped to around 130 bhp for around £300 if that's what does it for you.
