Trig Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 The Ford dealer sold me the car as a 130 ps TDi but when I gave my registration to the parts department today they told me it was only 115 ps. Is there a code within the engine number or something that can tell what the car actually has? Quote
Biscuit Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 Hi TrigThe TDI badge on the tailgate :- silver with red outline 115ps if its just red then 130ps Quote

searcher Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 I didnt think the badge colour was 100 % reliable.Isnt there a sticker inside the the rear side storage cover by the jack ??????? Quote
Smilge Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 No it isn't Ady ....... it's only the VW variants ie the Sharan that you can tell by the Tdi badge .... its the number on the engine block, rear right cubby hole or the three letter number on the V5 that will tell you ...mine was an AUY.... 115PS although the Tdi badge was red.

insider Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 Hi. It's 115 then. :D Thanks for the info anyway.I hope you've gone back to them and complained. A 130 would have been valued at more than a 115 so you should expect some money back!(For an 03 2003 Zetec with 50,000 miles, Parkers value the 115 at Quote
gregers Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 i think this would quite easily come under the sale of goods act as an infringement,if it proves to be then give the trade and standard people a call.or confront the dealer first and see what they offer you,ie cash back and warranty etc etc. Quote
searcher Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 I had the same problem when i bought the Bamma.They tried to tell me it was a 130 but i was sure it was only a 115 due to the fact it only had 16" alloys and the 130 should have 17".Only when i kept asking did they go and check and surprise surprise it was a 115.(wish it had been a 130 tho) Quote

Are you saying that a Ford Dealer lied to you :lol: Either that or was mistaken. 130 ps was a definite bonus as far as I was concerned. Quote

My V5 states: Variant AUY1Version 7A Q Does that definitely mean it is 115 ps? Quote

big_kev Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 I thought the 130 was an ASZ engine code ? Quote
insider Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 I thought the 130 was an ASZ engine code ?Correct. The engine codes are:90 - ANU115 - AUY130 - ASZ150 - ASZ1 Quote
chromedome Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 My TDI Galaxy has the all red badge on the tailgate. So I assumed 130ps. I've just checked my V5 and it states ASZ1, do I have a 150ps? :lol: Quote
insider Posted May 7, 2008 Report Posted May 7, 2008 All red badges were used on 130 and 150 models so it could be. Quote
veedyf Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 my engine code starts with xl ...on log book it says 110 im confused....can anyone help Quote
insider Posted May 12, 2008 Report Posted May 12, 2008 Sounds like you have a Mark 1 Galaxy then. The diesel engines in these were either 90hp (engine code 1Z then later AHU) or 110hp (engine code AFN).The Mark 2 was introduced with 90hp and 115hp PD (Pumpe Deuse) engines then the 130hp and 150hp were added later.
