I don't know how to distinguish the engines themselves, but if you look at the tdi badge on the bootlid, on a 100ps the badge is all silver, a 110 engine has the 'i' in red and a 130 engine has the 'di' in red.
Not necessarily, my old Polo TDI 100hp sport had a red 'DI'. I think that if it has a red 'DI' it means it’s a sport model.

I think it's the 115PD that got the red 'i' but this only works if it's a Golf or a Passat as someobody else mentioned other VW cars differ.Bit of confused misinformation here.
VAG dealers used to stick pretty much any badges on they wanted, so they aren't a definitive guide (though generally are).
The only way for sure is to look under the carpet in the boot, there is a sticker in there and it will tell you the power output of the engine.

Yup- The badge could easily have been changed or the incorrect one put in.VAG dealers used to stick pretty much any badges on they wanted, so they aren't a definitive guide (though generally are).

As said the sticker will tell you the power in KW- simply convert it and you have the HP.
Also what year is the car? I think PD130s are 6 speed.
130tdi will have a 96kw sticker in the boot...failing that ring VW with the reg/VIN number and ask them to confirm the engine
that is one of the only ways to tell, i have heard of many cars being badged up as the higher power models to sell on
a 2004 Passat 130 will have a 6 speed box, but i think most did by then
