Are the V reg models different in any way to the other models? engine specs etc.. thanks!

Hello, welcome to UK-Polos!

V-plate cars are the earliest of the GTi's I think. The engines are all 125bhp 1.6-litre powerplants, ARC engine codes. Later cars, around the 51-plate, were AVY engines, I think they were modified to comply with EU emissions regulations? But in the purest sense, all factory-standard Polo GTis are 1.6-litre 125bhp cars

The early cars, V and W plates, are known as "pre-alignment" so the equipment spec can be different on them. Just little things, like some cars have red seat belts, others have black ones. Some have manula air conditioning (like mine) and others have Climatronic climate control

Anything else you need to know, just holler

Cheers

cheers m8! seen 1 with the front gti all red! mean anything or not??

I've got Climatronic, Red Seatbelts and an AVY Engine.

Mine was delivered to the dealer on 26/01/2001 according to my service book and is an X Reg

All-red GTi badges? I've seen them on some GTis too, I thought they were teh badges fitted to European GTis? Check out the history of the car perhpas, it might tell you in there?

I quite like the all-red GTi badges actually, a nice touch. Different

Benno whos things man?

just checked on autodata CD, the technicalk data that most garages use and in fact some of the V reg polos have 120 bhp and the engine code is AJV
