is it the 75bhp or 100bhp? i've hit 120+ a few times in my 100bhp with a passenger, although speedo error probably came in to play

75BHP i believe, but then again, mines a european import so its an SE in the log book but its got a 16V engine (so im slightly confused n i cant b bothered 2 find out even though iv had the car 4 3years! lol) n the seats you would find in the GTI but in a diff colour. N i had a passenger as well. And obviously speedo error is gonna come in2 play (but we'll ignore that shall we? lol)

I have a 1.4 S polo 16v engine but - i guess its not the 16v model it doesnt have the 16v badge on the front/back just on the engine i know its the 75bhp not the 100bhp, are they the same engine just one is ECU restricted? i could really do with that extra 25bhp :)

I think it could just be ECU
