how do i tell the difference in a 100 bhp and 80 bhp mk 5 astra 1.7cdt

[peadar]

i cant see any difference on badges

[benny]

i work for vx and we core tell em apart ...... one is a bosch system and one is a denzo system witch one is the dtl and wich is the dth is a hard one ...but i think the bosch is the 80 and the denzo is the 100 but i might be wrong ....

[Celes]

I thought all 1.7's had Denso injection?

[benny]

I thought all 1.7's had Denso injection?

in the uk we have two set ups in the 1.7 bosch and denzo but there does seem to be more bosh systems out there than denzo .......but the new astra j seems to have more denzo than bosch ......

[Celes]

Which is best then? On the 1.7...

I know Denso is pretty terrible on the 3.0

[benny]

we get more problems with the bosch systems but it may only be due to the fact there are more out on the road .... get loads a p0234 codes and this code means two different things on each system ,can be very confusing when you tech test them ...

[peadar]

will this be wrote on the pump
can vauxhall tell via the chassis number

[john_k_sri]

Thought the 100 had a red 'ti' in the badge, or was that the Mk4?

[RobW]

I would have said red TI too

I had a 80 bhp astravan for a couple of months very slow! the 100bhp engine has loads more torque
