TDI lettersanywhere?

Dcully

Hi all,just wondering if its possible to get the red TDI lettering anywhere?
Ive got my 130 bhp Passat TDI remapped to 150+ bhp and the big kid in me wants to get the full red TDI badge.
It will also be handy if i ever resell the car.

Surely you're not thinking of selling it on as an originally 150BHP car?

Anyway, what car do you have? If it is the previous model with the 1.9 engine, that never was a redT-redD-redI as 130BHP was the max it came in, wasn't it?

Try using a red marker or crayon.

Regarding selling it as a 150bhp Passat TDi. The 150bhp version of the TDi unit was only available in the MkIV Golf/Bora and MkI Leon. Any potential buyers that half know their cars will cop it straight away. That and the fact that the engine cover will still have only the Red D and I on it under the bonnet. It may also have it listed somewhere on the Vehicle Licencing Form afaik.

You'll be making your car more of a target for would-be thieves.

I have ordered badges from them before and they deliver quick.
As said above bare in mind that there never was a red tdi passat and personally i would leave it the way it is or debadge.

Whatever about selling it on it would indeed look silly with TDI under the bonnet then TDI on the rear.

As for selling it on,in fairness the cars paperwork tells the true story so i doubt id even try disguise it as something else.

Considering the TDI 130 will output around 140bhp standard, does the 19hp really make that much of a difference?

I saw a Leon TDI PD 150 yesterday for the first time. Nice car.

Yes,feels so much more spritely to me.

Does it improve the torque too?
