#1: gti question Author: top206, Location: cambsPosted: Thu Sep 01, 2011 1:10 pm ---- a new neighbour has just moved in to my street, i was talking to him on saturday and was telling me he has a 206 gti on a 51 plate. he was telling me though that it has no A/C ?? i said i thought all the gti's had climate control as standard and is he sure its not an xsi, he says no its a gti ??
so today ive got home from work and the said car is outside so i go to have a look and sure enough it dosent have A/C, it also dosent have any badges (which is not unusal) but it does have the gti half leather and nimrods, again could have been added.
so does every gti come with A/C as standard or was it optional i had a w reg gti years ago and that was full climate control ??
cheers for any help.
#2: Re: gti question Author: Seabook, Posted: Thu Sep 01, 2011 1:11 pm ---- you can buy the aux belt without a/c so i guess there must be a gti without ac.
pop the bonnet then you will know if it is a gti or not.
#3: Re: gti question Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Thu Sep 01, 2011 1:14 pm ---- as seabook says, one look at the engine and you will soon know
someone o previous owner may have even took out the air con for some reason, you never know
#4: Re: gti question Author: top206, Location: cambsPosted: Thu Sep 01, 2011 1:15 pm ---- he's not there so i couldnt get in it, he was telling me its running 172 hp with a graph to prove. so it must be a gti or even a 180 lump in it
#5: Re: gti question Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Thu Sep 01, 2011 1:17 pm ---- Maybe a 180 engine unless its had a lot of work done to it. Get under that bonnet
#6: Re: gti question Author: top206, Location: cambsPosted: Thu Sep 01, 2011 1:20 pm ---- i will when i see him at the weekend. he dont know much about them becuase he kept saying its the same as mine i had to explain what a gti180 was
someone else has done all the work on it.

or could just be a standard gti engine with powerflow exhaust and a reddot remap?

#10: Re: gti question Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Thu Sep 01, 2011 2:06 pm ---- Or you could just type his Reg into my car check (for your original question)

Any chance of getting the VIN number to look it up on Peugeot Service Box
#12: Re: gti question Author: pug206lx, Location: Taking a gearbox off somewherePosted: Thu Sep 01, 2011 4:44 pm ---- Look at the VIN
You want VF32CRFN, or VF32CRFR. That will tell you if it was originally a GTI. Also does it have gloss black mirrors?
#13: Re: gti question Author: tubbe2, Location: DenmarkPosted: Fri Sep 02, 2011 1:58 am ---- I have a 2002 206 GTi 138 - didn't come with A/C - didn't come with anything at all almost But that's also a DK car, so maybe that's why.
#14: Re: gti question Author: hooliganchild46, Location: Rugby , WarwickshirePosted: Fri Sep 02, 2011 2:48 am ---- My 2001 GTI 138 has A/C and half leather interior with nimrods too . I , like Top206 thought that all GTI's came full kitted as standard . Clearly I have a lot to learn

You need Service Box to see what spec the car was built to when it left the factory.
GTI spec is different depending on which country in the world the car was originally sold
Australian spec car's for example dont have the passenger airbag disarm switches as its against there laws to disable the passenger airbag, they also used to specify different side impact bars for some reason.
