| Re: Identity Yes, the TDI badge. The 2.0 has a red I on the end, the 1.9 has a black I. Unless the badge has been changed of course.

| Re: Identity That's all I can think of too. The L&K gets a set of nice front wing badges too. No indication of a DSG gearbox though - I remember cars from years ago that had a badge on the back that said "automatic".

| Re: Identity One sports a different engine code.  But visually this involves popping the bonnet and having a good root around in the front of the engine. Might be easier to lift the boot carpet and see the engine code on the little sticker that should be there.
