My gti 6 is on a 1998 t plate but has all the phase 3 bits on it.. Is there any way of finding out if it's a genuine very early on phase 3, or A modded phase 2?

Its a modded phase 2 at a guess, if it was a phase 3 it would be may 99 onwards as that was the changeover month iirc, when you say all the phase 3 bits on exactly what phase 3 parts have you got on it?  ________________________________________ Team Running Engine again!Team Negative Camber!

Not really, a 1998 t would be a mix match of both phases as the stuffed the kinds of stuff on late phase 2'smy 1999 t is phase 3 through and through and though Do you have a rf key or an ir one? are you clocks silver with white needles? do you seats have airbags is you parcel shelf a stealth shelf, plenty more to look for. ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

Most of that is bolt on parts, but the RF key suggests to me that it's a P3. What would be required to convert a P2 IR car to run RF? Doubt someone would've gone to the trouble. |

Is the tailgate a P3?Also, how is the throttle cable routed? Across the engine or along the rear of the radiator? These are more clues to look out for. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Ok , No guard on aux belt, although it looks like the power steering pump bracket has holes in it for something?Throttle cable across the top of the engine. Not sure how to tell the ph3 tailgate? Are we any closer ? Cheers |

Just to clarify though, if it was registered in 1998 then it can't be a phase 3.Phase 3 production began in May 1999. ________________________________________ Rich |

What phase does this make my T-reg Rallye with the IR key then? I assume a ph3 due to the registration but other factors suggest otherwise. Or is it because it's made to be lighter that ph3 parts were restricted? ________________________________________ Richies Project RallyeElectrical work carried out in Portsmouth jamiek_uk2000 wrote: - Top Tip!!!

This is true to a point, but the *actual* date of manufacture is not taken into account on the logbook etc. So if the logbook states it's a 1998 then that will be the date of first registration. The fact that the car has ended up on a 'T' plate is even more confusing.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

This was what I was trying to say, mine is a may 99 and definitely a parts bin special. If its registered in 98 it can't possibly of started life as a phase 3 as production was may99 onwards for phase 3 so it has to be a modded phase 2 at best!  ________________________________________ Team Running Engine again!Team Negative Camber!
