  1. Dear Sir or Madam,

    Unfortunately, the PS information in the report is not correct.
    The Golf 2 GTI has 112 hp without a cat and only 107 hp with a cat. Your specification of 129 hp probably refers to the Golf 2 GTI 16V (engine type PL with cat = 129 hp; engine type KR without cat = 139 hp).

    Sincerely,
    Kai Schneider
