I see.  I guess I must be reading my fuel cap wrong.  I have 1.9 bar all round.  2.1 in the fronts?  Isn't that too much?

nope - remember the golf's weight distribution is 60% front 40% rear so you need the extra pressure to compensate for the weight  :nerd:

I will see to it that the correct 2.1 at the fronts and 1.9s at the rears are done ASAP.  Thanks for all the help.

Checked my fuel filler cap again today.  1.9BAR front and back with 2 passengers and a suitcase.  Full load 2.1 front 2.6 back.

Either my filler cap is wrong or you guys are.  :undecided:
