After some thought while being stuck at a train station I wanted something else, cheaper in the long run. I have always liked diesels and how they pull, and still return goot MPG. Started to look online on the wednesday and bought one by the thursday.

It is a GT TDI 130 PD - Silver - 5 door - FVWSH. Took a mate with me who works at VW to have a gander round. I noticed that there were little bits of plastic in the header tank. Spoke to the garrage and they agreed to change the water pump and new cam belt for free. RESULT.

I have some good plans for this one, keeping it OEM+.

Remap tomorrow

Roll on R-Tech!

EDIT- 1 week later
Rite, a week has passed and Its amazing. It totally transforms the car. To say it pulls is an understatement! Even in the dry the wheels spin in 2nd when you put your foot down when not booting it in 1st. I have seen a vast improvement in the mpg return, this due to the engine being able to pull harder meaning less stress placed on the engine(?) 3rd gear in the mk4 is tooo long and it doesn't seam to pull as well as it should but after the remap it was totally different, it doesn't want to stop! Clutch is holding in there but I don't think my tyres will.

After the remap I decided to put most of the money from the sale of them mk3 (1700 of it) into this. Alot will change very soon. Watch this space.

Also bought an Allard EGR delete, Euro lights and looking to buy a NewSouth indigo boost gauge.

Update - 09/10/09

Well had it RR'ed pleased with the power but one problem is the torque, either a boost leak or sticking veins. Been told it should have made 180-185bhp without the spikes.

Fitted euro rear lights. Havn't seen many silver golfs with them so thought I might as well give it a go.

Well spent a fair whack of monies on Tuesday. R-Tech were doing a good deal on a clutch so I couldn't pass on it. My clutch was fine but I wanted piece of mind it was going to last so had my car booked in to them. In all I got::

-Turbo Back decat
-EGR Delete
-Turbo cleaner
-Uprated clutch
-Panel filter as the old one was manky

Only had one picture as my phone died. Nick took a few just need to find where he has put them.
