what sort of driving did u do tho, were u harsh on the accelerator and was it long motorway journeys? When I cam back from London with the car i put 20 in and had absoloutely loads left still. Like I say my driving style is fastish and where I live there is alot of hills lol A welsh village!

It was mostly driven by my Mrs so not ragged but driven at or slightly above the speed limits and a mixture of driving situations.  Has yours been remapped?

Good I hope so. Is there a GT TDi made in that year that isnt a pump duse model? There is no indication that its a 130 apart from last owners word basically. But I can tell its powerful, more than 115bhp 4 def. What u think? Anywayis there a way to check?

It should be detailed inside the service book.  Failing that, go to your local VW garage and they will have the details online.
