Good choice of car, just keep your eye on levels inbetween services.  I have had mine a couple of years now no problems at all.  Allow yourself plenty of cash for good tyres though.  :smiley:

Welcome.

Try the search function in the MKV specific section for more info.

Diverter valves and diesel-like idle are the two main issues on the MKV.  Great car though. :afro:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?
