    ok i have a saxo vtr 1999 and on the parkers guide it says my car has 100bhp but its only a mk1. its says up to 98 have 90bhp then 1999 have 100bhp.

    also by looks can you tell the difference between a vts/vtr

    would relli love to no about the 100bhp because my car has full straight threw been remapped but havent got a clue what bhp it would be sitting at.

    thanks gary

    Not True, 2001 was the transition year. Look at the stickies for more info on the different R Engines.

    My understanding is that the silver top engines are 98BHP and black top is 90BHP
