    A while ago a chap I know acquired a Passat, noticing it was a GT I quizzed him a bit regarding the engine - just in case it was a 2.0 16v and he wanted to get rid of it in the near future.

    It turns out it's got a 1.8 8v lump in it, running digi. I thought all GT's were 16v.. It's got the correct wheels and badging.

    Anyone care to enlighten me as to what's going on? :p

    So, what were the 16v varients fitted to then? Did they just fit anything from a 1.8 8v to a 2.0 16v in the GT?

    I've come across an 8v GT before and it had me a bit puzzled. I thought upuntil then that they were all 16v's but obviouly not. 1.816v kr was until 89 then 2.0l 16v 9A from then on.
