hi guys new to forum after 12 years in an audi s4 have just bought a beautifull mk5 golf gti silver 27000k. had 3 corrados before s4 so its back to the vw fold. hope the golf i as good as the old girl. Kevin
-
S4? Yummy. That's what I'm aiming at next... a DSG 3.0 V6 Avant.
It's a practical family car, just don't tell the wife about the consumption... :laugh: :lipsrsealed:
Nice to see you back in the fold, enjoy the car!
-
You will love the improvement in MPG.
I would also love an S4 at some point in time as 2nd hand ones aren't insanely expensive either. Its just the MPG I couldn't deal with.
-
Which version of the S4 did you have? I ran a B5 for 4 years - my av was 22MPG - the av on my ed 30 is 28MPG, so slightly better.
-
I was thinking if it's that age it's a 2.7? That a B5?
I'd love the v8, but the group 20 and 22mpg (aye, right) is crazy...
I'm waiting for the most recent s4 :afro:
-
hi guys thanks for the welcome. yeah a b5 your all right to mention fuel consumption keep it around the ton 22mpg anything more 15 to 18 and on really cold mornings under fuel enrichment 9 or 10 for a few miles this is the main reason for the change. but its like losing a limb as i bought it new in 98 first one in wales had to wait 10 months. its been totally reliable never failed an mot never broken down. but if you can afford to run one its a great car but im looking forward to later and my new gti. KEVIN

With a few choice mods on the GTI you can make it into a serious weapon aswell.
Enjoy.

well got my mk5 gti today really well prepared by non franchised dealer would recommend to anyone lovely car, treated really well better than dealer from whom i have bought 5 cars in the past. done about 100 miles so far very impressed obviously miss the torque of s4 but fuel consumption more than makes up for that. i have looked into blue fin am awaiting brochure if anyone who has it reads this please give me any feed back.

Do a search (use the advance bit to specify the MK5 section) for Bluefin, plenty of feedback on here already.

thanks ill havea look. Kevin

Welcome mate - also came from a modded B5 S4 :smiley: Great car (rock-hard seats, but brilliant stereo!).....
Golf is a lot more involving (stereo is sh1te though)....
Performance & torque aren't there, but they are available if you look hard (and spend some tokens!).....
Just over the border from you in Hereforshire :smiley:
Enjoy

Hi Dan agree with about s4 great car though ive looked at getting blue fin after a lot of hunting around the forums. im well pleased with my gti its better than i expected especially fuel consumption. any journey over 100 miles we used my partners honda jazz not any more! all the best Kevin
-
Enjoy. Have to say though, why not a MK6?
-
lack of funds simple as that. wanted an a5 3.0tdi again lack of funds but im more than happy with my gti. Kevin
-
Fair enough! Im sure you will enjoy it just as much as if it was a mk6 :wink:
-
im very happy so far. cant wait to get it blue finned. great forum used to go on an audi one this is much better. Kevin
-

-
ive read a lot about revo. but the thought of doing it myself appeals, im going to wait until ive had the car a month then re-appraise. i got nearly 300mls to drive tommorw and friday so itl be a good test. enjoy your upgrade watch those bloody plods and their cameras. Kevin
-
Yeah your not wrong about the cameras, plenty around here in hertfordshire!
And who ever you do go with for the remapp, im sure you will not be dissapointed!
I Had bluefinn on my gtdi 140, and that was brilliant! done over 40k on that mapp, no problems.
Let us know what you think when you get it done mate. marty
-
yeah ill report back. got about 3 weeks to wait. Kevin
-
Fair enough! Im sure you will enjoy it just as much as if it was a mk6 :wink:
Theres not difference is there? :D :D :D :D
