Golf Diesel Advert
Discussion
You know that one where they are telling you if you dont tattoo "Diesel" on your wifes/kids/dog/gerbil's behind you will actually forget you are in a diesel and stick in petrol! 
Well apart from the stupidity of the advert, like when the guy gets his car out of the garage and you can see "die" on one side of the garage door very witty but when will he ever actually see the word "diesel", when the door is shut? When he is gassing himself? Thats when he goes "doh"!
Anyway, when the guy is at the petrol station and on his hand is written "diesel" when he goes to pay you can clearly see "GTI" on the back of the Golf, I thought they were TDI's?
Or had his wife wound him up and written "diesel" on his hand while he was pissed the night before, and also managed to swap cars to a petrol.
Ha, ha, just wait till he gets 1 mile down the road, god bless his funny wife!
Edited to add: Just writing down the witterings of my brain while I wait for Bonce to tell me what to do.
Bonce, Bonce!

I'm in the middle of trying to buy one of thse things and the naming convention is a complete nightmare - it also seems different on imports.
The new ones seem to be called a GT TDi PD - and are badged GTi. The number of red letters (opposed to silver) in the name badge indicate the power - 130BHP is silver G and T, red i. 150 BHP is red T and i.
Look in Parkers and you'll see all the different models of Golf TDi, they are so confusing....

In their defence I think that VW (or at least their ad agency) put out the best car ad's at the moment. Compare them to the tw@t asking the dog questions on the lame Citreon ads...
Still like the Alfa Romeo poster ad with the tag line beneath the car "Italian children don't grow up wanting to be train drivers" or something like that..

...or the smug twerp making squealy noises for that "real driving experience" as he goes barrelling down twisty mountain roads!
Haven't seen that one for a few weeks though, hope it's been consigned to the archives, never to return.

Thing that pisses me off about that adver is its filmed around Waterloo Station ... the audi clearly drives the wrong way up a one way street ( in real life anyway ) for the advert, the signs are removed.
Feckin awful advert

All very confusing!
I knew that a red 'i' usually indicated the presence of a turbo, but didn't realise it went further than that...
Mind you, there's always exceptions to the rule; a mate of mine has a petrol GTi turbo with a silver 'i'
My Best mate used to be a salesman at the VAG garage in Macclesfield. The GTi badge for the new Golf is only put on the cars when it is ready for delivery so the customer can choose to have it 'debadged' or not. The stickers are usually put on by the salesmen.
My friend, the day before he left, put GiT on a number of Golfs. I wonder if anyone noticed.

How bloody sad is this then?
IIRC .....
TDI no red = 90bhp model
TDI red I = 110bhp model
TDI red D&I = 130bhp model
TDI red T,D&I = 150bhp model. (now also badged GTI, hence the car in the ad having GTI on it's arse)
Not sure how it works, but with the petrol GTI, the red I means the 150bhp engine from the Audi stable and the non red I is the old 2.0l VW engine ...... or something like that. It does have a meaning though the red I.
