Hi
I am in the market for a used VAG group diesel, (I know I know Mondeo TDCI yada yada yada) Following a conversation with an old school style VW sales guy last night I am a bit confused.
Is there a definitive way to tell the difference between the different BHP models on the car, without going to the tax book? I drove 2 Bora?s last night back to back both with 74Kw marked on id sticker displaying inside the boot. One was allegedly a 2002 90 BHP and the other a 2005 100BHP. I did not see too much difference in performance although the 100 was a bit better, but it was 3 years and 30k miles younger. I have been warned off going by the red letters on the boot badge in fact the 90 had a red DI and the 100 only a red I.
I was also told the 100 was on long life servicing, while I am not a big fan, with only 16k miles on the clock I guess for this car that is not a problem. When I asked if I could revert to standard servicing, even with using the fancy oil, the sales guy said no?.. I found this a bit odd, is this true??
Thanks in advance
