Got a 3i for the missus but im unsure as to which model it is. Its been played around with so im unsure if some of the tell tale give aways were there from factory or if some one has fitted them up ie air filter housing gone in place of induction kit, rear disc conversion and its had lockwood dials reading 150mph fitted (doesnt mean its not 130mph underneith i suppose). So how else can I check, throttle housing size etc??

Cheers,
Stu

 

A code on the end of the head nxt to the coilpack, mines is RQB which is 130bhp, hope this helps

 

130 have rear disc

 

But so do the 105s if they have ABS

Look at the engien number on the gearbox end of the block.

 

have u got the registration number and i will check

 

Wasn't it just the later K and L plates that were 130?

 

nah

 

howdy-don't quote my-this info is not mine-but the guy seems pretty good
Zetec and Zetec E from 1992-1998)

Engine Codes RDA (105ps) and RKC (115ps)

Engine Code RQA (130ps)

Engine Code NGK (136ps)

 

drive it if it does 130mph its the 130 mate if it dont its the 105

every 130 ive known has always been the proper mk5 shape and not a mk5a

and no mk5 xr3i came with abs from the factory cos only rs2000`s had that

 

wasnt smiley front all 105
slatted 130
it was on the orion ghia i had in 93

 

My mk5 had abs until i bined it the week after i bought it in favour of a pedal box.

 

not from the factory it didnt mate, it may have been an optional extra though and cant imagine many would have paid for it.
