    Pop the bonnet and if u have a flat grey rectangle valve cover then its a 2L, if its black and sorta got a bump in the middle then its a 1.8L.

    Ive never heard of a CL with full electrics unless the original owner paid for the options. Sunroof is rare too, ive got a 3door cl and loving the everyday commute lol.

    What year is it? I have seen 1998 model CLs with electric windows and dual chamber lights. I reckon VW were using up the last Mk3 bits they had.

    Cl's have non-colour coded side mirrors and also have a non-adjustable steering column.

    my cl has non-colour coded mirrors, no window electrics, no sun roof. It used to have single chamber headlights (now it has dual lens ones.) and it does actually have an adjustable column. by definition, the only thing that defines the model is the engine size. If it is 1.8L, (1798cc) then it is a CL. 2L, its a GL, v6 engine and it is a VR6...

    Well, this is strange. Might have opened a can of worms here!

    I have the adjustable steering column, electric windows, central locking, electric mirrors and electric sunroof. It has colour coded bumpers and wing mirrors and its a '96 model. Also the dash illumination on the dials is blue, whereas the buttons on the heater system are green.

    So, where does this put me?

    I'll check the engine cover soon, and have another look at the badge in the daylight. Its def a 1.8L too.....well it is on the rego papers!

    I wouldn't worry to much about what is says on the papers.
    Iv'e got a late 96 mod GL and the papers also say 1.8. Everything is original GL
    so I can only think it was an oversite from the first registration.

    Or maybe they just figured that 0.2 of a ltr didn't matter in the power stakes.

    Ross.
