    So I have a 2005 Passat with the red DI and from the forum I see that probably doesn't mean anything. But what would would I be looking for on the engine block or under the carpet?
    Thanks

    The red in TDi actually means nothing. Dealers and VW have messed around with it to a point of confusion.

    The only way to know for sure what engine is in there is by checking either the stamp on the block/head or the sticker under the carpet in the boot.

    Between the 1.6 petrol and 1.9 Diesel, there is no contest. Tdi (Any flavour) all the way.

    There is a data sticker in the boot like the one below.
    The power of the engine will be listed in kw, 169kw in this case. Read the power in kw and then convert to bhp.

    Yup, old thread.
    Start a new thread instead. The server is big enough to handle it.
