Mk4 1.8 non turbo

[Darks RS]

Hey all.
Can anyone shed some light on what the 1.8ltr non turbo Mk4 is like???
Any differences (besides the 0.2lt) between the 2.0ltr???

Does it go ok?

You have to rev them pretty hard. The UK had these 20v 1800s badged as GTIs but they were pulled from the line up in favour of 2 litre 8 valves because the torque was better.

Yeah the few aussie ones were sent by accident and some/all are three door I think. The engine goes ok in a passat so golf shouldn't be too bad. If it's performance you want go past em and get the turbo!

Never seen a 3 door one Robin, but I`m gonna look now.

The same NA engine goes well in the Wifes Audi Wagon.
She reckons its hard to keep it under 120 and we dont need a turbo. OK

They are defintaley out there although I'm sure there is only about 20 of these n/a cars in oz from what people have said in the past. The only one I've seen advertised was a three door

I have seen 2 at the damaged car auctions and they were both 4 doors.
