can it be changed on v5 to make it be same insurance as a Dturbo then?
RE: For sale GTIDI-5 need it gone. Offers - jammapic - 14-07-2014
It'll never be the same as a factory released diesel, but it will come down if you change it.
RE: For sale GTIDI-5 need it gone. Offers - strictly_perv - 14-07-2014
Well it was the same with me James, £2 more that a 1.5D.....they just insured it under a Dturbo.

Whether it's V5 registered as a '6 or a DT will make NO difference to the insurance price, insurance doesn't go by what the V5 says, it goes by what it is.

Hmmm. Not my experience, but that said it's been nearly 10 years since I tried to insure a car with the wrong engine in tbh!!

insurance: ooow have you an engineers report for the modification?
you: no
insurance:we wont insure modified cars without this report
RE: For sale GTIDI-5 need it gone. Offers - 1616six - 18-07-2014
Cully, what I mean is it doesn't matter if it's a '6, 1.4 or a 5.0 v8, what it WAS makes NO difference..
RE: For sale GTIDI-5 need it gone. Offers - cully - 18-07-2014
yes it does it needs do be declared and most insurance want a engineers report to say the mod is safe
or am i missing the point ?
RE: For sale GTIDI-5 need it gone. Offers - strictly_perv - 18-07-2014
Oh really? I know of 3 instances (2 being my own cars) and have never needed a report. That's with 3 different companies too.

Cully this is my profession, lol.
It doesn't matter that this used to be a GTI6, it could have been a 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, XSI, HDI... Anything. The insurance price is not calculated on what the car WAS, it's calculated on what it is now. You won't pay GTI 6 insurance prices. Why would an insurer care about what a car once was? It's not what they are insuring.

Gotta admit i got that impression from most companys until i switched to flux, first company ive used where they actually have some sense about cars in relation to mods.
RE: For sale GTIDI-5 need it gone. Offers - ginge191 - 19-07-2014
From what I remember; the MOT verified the safety of the car and technically overruled the engineers report. When speaking to the DVLA and the MOR garage (lynx engineering) they were happy to carry out an engineers report but said the MOT would suffice for the insurance.
Lynx we're satisfied with the work and the MOT etc, as were the insurance company.
RE: For sale GTIDI-5 need it gone. Offers - darrenjlobb - 19-07-2014
MOT does NOT overrule an engineers report to say the engine change is safe...it could be held in with plastic bolts ...mot wouldn't even pick up on it...
From my experience it makes no odds what the car was before....HOWEVER they will not just insure it as a d turbo...they seem to add a premium just for the fact its a conversion...the logbook makes no odds to anything however its illegal to drive without changing it. Which literally takes 2 minutes and a postage stamp so I have no idea why you wouldn't...

I am STILL trying to change it, written SO many letters and SO many phone calls. I sent the logbook off initially in October last year!
Its like I have installed a hyperdrive the way they are treating it. Freaking annoying as the taxation class is the same etc. Does my nut. Need to chase actually its been over a month since I last heard from them
