I just purchased a 95 GTi 2.0, but am unsure of how to determine if it is the 8v or 16v variant. Are there any distinguishing features between the two that are outwardly noticeable? I am just starting to learn more about the technical side of things when it comes to vehicles, so a "For Dummies" kind of guide would be handy.

I cannot seem to find it on Vortex or in any of the sites listed in the Directory thread.

Thanks in advance.

 

what does the motor look like??

 

it's a 8v unless your over the pond....but i still don't think the 16v came in the mk3 over there...but unsure..what's the top speed on the speedo?

 

isnt the mk3 VR6 a 16v? in america

 

no mk3's didn't come with 16v's at all in america....it's either a 2liter 8v or vr6

 

maybe im thinking of a 12v or somthing

 

ABF 16v (digi 3 management) came in mk3's across the pond only.

 

How would that even be possible? 6 bores in the block with 16 valves would equal 2.66 valves per cylinder.

 

i'm thinking..he's saying the mk3 vr6 over the pond is a 16v over here.....

 

but no 16v's came in mk3's over here....
