Oettinger 200bhp left hooker?

Hi all,

Whilst working on my mk1 somebody approached me telling me that he used to own a Oettinger 2.0 left hand driver W reg mk1 with 200bhp back in 1990 - now ive heard of Oettinger but know very little about them?

I take it they were/are a tuning company? Are many of these golfs still about?

I have a 2.0 8v oettinger in mine, rhd y plate but its approx 150bhp, would be nice if it did have 200 though

His one was two tone - is yours>?

dubboy has a ottenger 16s and a gti engineering car with a 16s lump.

I hate him

mine isn't 2 tone, i don't think its the origonal engine, possibly from a mk2 or something

Are you sure that it's an Oettinger engine, and not just a rocker cover?

not 100% sure no, i guess the head needs to come off to check, their 2.0l 8v's were overbored 1.8 bottom end with reworked head so nothing blatant to tell me its genuine. they didnt stamp the blocks did they?, its definately not standard though as its proper lively!
i wont be too dissapointed if its not the real deal as its going to end up with a g60 in it anyhow.

the oettinger two liter was overbored yes but the main thing is mainly the crank which was differente 94.5 mm unstead of 86.4 mm so with little bigger pistons you could reach 2.1 liter this is mainly with the stroke that you could realise if it s a real oettinger
