How do i know which BHP version of the VW Golf GT TDI i have?

I recently bought a VW Golf from an independent dealer. They advertised it as a VW Golf GT TDI 130.



When i've been trying to get insurance, most companies think my car is the 150 version and others give me the option of selecting which it is, 130 or 150. The v5 doesn't reference the bhp figure.



The car looks quite low and strangely has silver GTI badges front and rear instead of TDI or GT TDI badges. It also has red sport seats.



Does anyone know how to tell for sure which version i have?How do i know which BHP version of the VW Golf GT TDI i have?Hi Daniel,

I used to work for VW for 4 years as a tech and 2 years as a service advisor.

Here's the interesting bit...!

Officially VW badged up the Golf Gt Tdi 150BHP hatchback with a GTI turbo badge (silver GT and Red I) and on the Bora's they badged it with Complete red TDI.

They did muck about with the badges aswell, i.e. putting silver GTI badges and sometimes complete red tdi on the golf hatchbacks



Best way to confirm BHP and model of your vehicle is to look in the service book, there will be a sticker on the front page with lots of numbers on it, this tells the dealer everything about your specific car, from trim levels and colour to service regime, engine and gearbox. it should state on it the BHP or KW (power of that vehicle)



If this sticker is not in the service book, look underneath that carpet in the boot, round the outer rim of the spare wheel, there should be a sticker there too.

if it does not state the bhp or kw then go to a vw dealer or phone them with the engine code, they can tell you from that.



There is another way to tell too but it starts to get a bit technical. if you lift up the engine cover, if its a 150BHP then there will be a big black plastic intercooler pipe running straight past the oil filter casing. this is because the 150's have a bigger turbo and the 130's don't have this intercooler pipe...



If you cant find any stickers and dont wanna look under the bonet, phone VW up and give them the Reg number, they can bring up the information on a dialoge system, this will state the engine code's and the BHP, if the vehicle has had a plate change or its an import then give them the chassis number, they should get it from that.



The GTI TDI 150's came standard with 16inch Montreal alloys and the 130's came standard with 15inch avus alloys, this is not to say that they havnt been changed or upgraded though. see below link for standard 150's alloys.

I also belive that 150's came standard with a Leather / Wood / chrome gear knob and the 130's just a standard leather one. once again this isnt to say its been changed or upgraded.



Actually to drive these vehicle's standard you wont notice much difference at all.

When you mention about the red sports seats, all of the GT TDI's have these, even the 115BHP tdi's.



Hope this helps mate,How do i know which BHP version of the VW Golf GT TDI i have?
Phone several VW dealerships and quote them the car's chassis number. They should be able to tell you from that the exact model.



Both the 130 and 150 versions are group 13 insurance, so it shouldn't really make any difference as to what power it has.How do i know which BHP version of the VW Golf GT TDI i have?Defintely 130 BHP, unless it has been chipped. Noramlly a PD115 has 115 BHP, a PD130 has 130 BHP. BTW, these cars have exellent torque, it is like driving a automatic.How do i know which BHP version of the VW Golf GT TDI i have?
You can't physically tell by looking at it you will have to get the engine number or alternativly look in the boot and there will be a badge with k/n on it that should deciver the bhp. Also i have noticed that golf tdi imports sometimes carry the gti badge front and back. hope this helps.How do i know which BHP version of the VW Golf GT TDI i have?I would contact a local VW approved dealership. I've seen a few GT TDI's in my time and none of them have ever had a GTi badge on them. Though I suppose you can work out whether it's a GTi or TDi by whether it takes diesel or petrol.How do i know which BHP version of the VW Golf GT TDI i have?
If you check on the top of the timing belt cover there should be a white sticker, on the lower line there will be a 3 letter code ie. AVB AEX etc, if this sticker is gone or can not be read check in the spare wheel well there is usually a white or yellow sticker there that you will find the code on. when you have that code check with most motor factors or google the code %26amp; you will get the answer, failing that email me the code %26amp; ill get back to you with the info.

When was the first golf cart invented?

And do you have photos of the first golf cart that was ever invented? Who invented golf carts?When was the first golf cart invented?The ancient Scots used to tie two bags of clubs to the back of their wives and then ride the women around the course. In the Royal and Ancient clubhouse at St. Andrews there is a famous picture of Old Tom Morris doing this.When was the first golf cart invented?I thought that the first cart was invented for older handicap people.

Where can I find out how fast I swing a golf club?

I can't figure out what shaft flex to get on the new driver that I want to buy. Can I go to any golf store like Golf Galaxy to find out how fast I swing because I want this driver to be right.

Thanks!Where can I find out how fast I swing a golf club?Golf Galaxy (or D1ck's, Golfsmith or Edwinn Watts if they're in your area) should be able to help you out. You could also look up an independent club fitter- do a Y! or Google search, since many don't advertise in the Yellow Books. Most places will charge you to use their launch monitors/simulators- there's quite an expense to those machines, and it needs to be recouped somehow.Where can I find out how fast I swing a golf club?As long as you buy the club from them.Where can I find out how fast I swing a golf club?At most Golf Galaxy stores they have simulators that measure your ball speed. They also have conversion charts hanging in the simulators that give you an estimate of your swing speed.. But launch angle is more important.

You can also get your exact swing speed if you do a ball fitting of use a Trackman but those are expensive.Where can I find out how fast I swing a golf club?
go to ***** sporting goods, tell them you want to try out a club and they will put you in their simulator and it tells you a bunch of stuff.

How much torque (N m) does a golf swing put on the average person/Tiger's knee? What can I compare this to?

As is obvious to anyone who has seen Tiger swing a club, he puts a tremendous amount of torque on the knee he is getting surgery on. I am wondering if there are exact measurements as to how much torque people, particularly Tiger, put on their knee during a golf swing. As I am relatively unfamiliar with physics, I would also appreciate a comparison of that measurement to something understandable.How much torque (N m) does a golf swing put on the average person/Tiger's knee? What can I compare this to?Here it is in simple terms.

Torque = Force X lever.

The lever is the distance from the center of curvature of the swing.

Force= mass X acceleration



Mass is the wt of the club, his arms and the ball itself when he hits it.

Acceleration if from the equation

accel=w^2(r)

Here is how you find the r. Find the point where half of the mass of the swing is further out, and half is closer to the center. That is the r part of the acceleration.

Now let me get in to the w. Just at there are 360 degrees in a complete circle. There is 2*pi radians in a complete circle. Approx 6.28 radians in a complete circle.

w=radians/second

Try to find out how much time it takes to complete the swing and how much of a complete circle it takes. Take the percentage of a complete circle, multiply it y 2 * pi and then divide it by the amount of time it takes to complete that swing. That would be w. Take the w to the second poser, this is w^2.

What could be wrong with my electric golf cart?

I have a 2004 Club Car golf cart... the lights will keep dimming on it while driving at night, but the battery is not low, and normally when the battery is low, the light will not dim until the cart is basically crawling. I'd like to see if anyone has any experience with this before I go digging through things. Thanks in advance.What could be wrong with my electric golf cart?First thing I would check is the lamp ground wiring to be sure it is clean and tight to the mounting point of the vehicle. Then check the accessory wire from the battery connection and make sure that there is no corrosion on the wire that feeds the power to the lamps. Then check the switch and/or relay for any looseness and then up at the lamps for any loose connections.
