How to tell BHP ?

Post by Moab31 »

Just wondering if there are any other way apart from the info on the door frame as to what BHP your car is ?

Reason I ask is I ordered and paid for a 140 BUT the door frame says 170!
Now have I scored or is it a mistake ?

Whats the three letter engine code on the inside service book white sticker or off the boot sticker, about midway down either sticker.

I thought the power on the stickers was in KW, in which case 150KW is just over 200BHP

Yes, it would be good to confirm as I've never seen VW use anything other than KW on data plates, data stickers or in fact in the manuals.

The only place I've seen them PS and BHP is in marketing collatoral.

Besides the engine code, the power rating in "Kw" is on the white stickers. 103Kw (140PS) or 125Kw (170PS).

Hi Cuprabob, yes - just checked the sticker on my car, it definitely says '150PS', engine 2.0 litre and fuel type petrol.

Very strange I must admit.

Just to satisfy my curiosity, checked the white sticker in the handbook and reassuringly it tells me I have a 147KW unit. :)
