hdi and gti6 rear beam - W1ll - 17-03-2013
Are they the same beam? is it worth putting a gti beam on my hdi or not?
RE: hdi and gti6 rear beam - vlj - 17-03-2013
Torsion bars may be different sizes, though I believe late hdis have the same size anyway
RE: hdi and gti6 rear beam - puggyhdi - 17-03-2013
All the same mate both have abs and rear discs straight swap
RE: hdi and gti6 rear beam - W1ll - 17-03-2013
ok thanks, no no real point then? may aswell refurb my hdi axle? (its late hdi, 2001)
RE: hdi and gti6 rear beam - Chris - 17-03-2013
Hdi dturbo models share the same beam. Where as the meridian or lx ones don't.
RE: hdi and gti6 rear beam - W1ll - 17-03-2013
but the torsion bars are the same size between hdi and gti? Just wondering if i go and get a gti beam or refurb my hdi one
RE: hdi and gti6 rear beam - Chris - 17-03-2013
Only the hdi dturbo models use the same size bars. All the other hdis are different!
RE: hdi and gti6 rear beam - W1ll - 17-03-2013
Now this may sound daft but how do I know if mine is a hdi dturbo model..! Its 2001 hdi, but does have dturbo badges on the side on my front wings..
RE: hdi and gti6 rear beam - vlj - 17-03-2013
If it 'does' have them like you've just typed, then it is..
If that was a typo, go onto an insurance website or something and put in your reg, most of them return the spec of the car e.g meridian, lx, dturbo etc
RE: hdi and gti6 rear beam - W1ll - 17-03-2013
Nope it does.. so whats the difference between a hdi dturbo and hdi?? May seem daft sorry :p
RE: hdi and gti6 rear beam - vlj - 17-03-2013
Just different trim levels. Basic level lx has cloth seats, sometimes no AC etc, dturbo as Chris said has thicker torsion bars, will have half leather seats, AC yada yada.
RE: hdi and gti6 rear beam - W1ll - 17-03-2013
ok sweet thanks! I'll just maybe refurb the beam i have on
RE: hdi and gti6 rear beam - declantg - 17-03-2013
My hdi dturbo doesn't have leathers :/
RE: hdi and gti6 rear beam - Oil-burner - 17-03-2013
Hdi dturbos dont have leathers, they have cloth 'sports' seats.
