when did you get the car, Steve?
You have just got use to it thats all. Happens to every car i own its why i never just own one at a time. That way you go back to the lower powered one for a week then get in the GTI/GTD and it feels quick again. Saved me a fortune over the years from not changing cars.

The car does have some very very good poinst as i have said on this forum! i love the RNS510, ACC, Dynaudio , dsg, ive also fell in love with candy white. but i am struggling with the performance snoopy ?
Its not quite doing it for me??

Told you it was a sootchucker :laugh:
GTIs :tongue: FTW
Whats FTW mean? Bring on the banter hahaha
Revo?
(for the second time) :rolleyes:
Well here goe's , i know i'm going to get slauterd here , but i can take it!!
I think ive made a mistake going from a GTI to the GTD, i am having my doubts now on the performance of the car missing the fizz & handling?? :rolleyes:

I would find that sick, if they now take the mickey out of you.....there is a difference of laughing together or laughing at a person...I mean it...
I reckon there are a fair number of people who have driven both and can advise from experience.... :wink:
For what it is worth a GTI or a GTD it stays a sublime car nothing can change that... :cool:
Erik , i have given out a lot of stick on here about the how good the GTD is!! So i expect some lovely banter from say (kev) ???
Steve
Just get a remap it's gonna bang its horses up nearer to what you need, sorry to hear you've found your GTD wanting, we tried to tell you :grin:
Gizzy
I did think for a minute when i first read the thread Kev had hacked into Steves login. :grin:
I still don't see how a GTD is not fast enough in London :undecided:
IF this isn't a wind up then its pretty sad...
You had 2 x 30+ page threads on which is better GTI or GTD on the go, and 95% of the responses were get the GTI as you'll regret the GTD.
The GTD is a very nice car, but I can imagine it lacking the same buzz with the lower revs and slightly sloppier handling.
If you've really fallen out of love with the car after 10 days its a shame. :undecided:
I have made mistakes in my life ,but also lernt loads from them!! I have just been for a blast and still love the car very much ! But it's lacking in performance , the car is very quick don't me wrong! The modding route is never ending & it's addictive?
Dont worry fella's I will put Stevo and his GTD to bed when i am next down south.... settling this once and for all :evil:
How much miles did you do befor getting it revo'd?
Steve, just map it, you wont need further mods, it'll give you enough trust me.....
Yea nice one gossa!! It makes sense to get it done, just need to let settle down a bit more! Thanks

GTD RIP GTD RIP GTD RIP GTD RIP :cry:the gtd is an awsome car but needs a re-map! I only do the wife swappers clubs!! KeV is the gay lord!!

I believe you.
But Kev seems so normal.
Anyhow, 'What the Good Lord Gives The Gay Lord Takes'! :wink:
Seriously, Steve...?
I'm gutted for you, but seriously if someone can afford to run a GTI, they should do it.
Get a wee Polo TDI workhorse for the mile-munching and stick with a GTI, FTW! :afro:
can't be doing 2 motors!! It's enough with one car on London? I get bored with car's very quickly! The fix has worn off a bit ? Just need to Get it back.
Steve, had my GTI mapped at 1K, just get it done man.....The gains are not very good on diesel's 30 bhp but loads more torque? So I'm led to beleve ?

Unoffical timings the GT 140 now 0-60 in 7.7 and could be faster just can't seem to not hog the clutch in 2nd, so the GTD should be well sub 7 seconds me thinks.....

I did mate, on page 2.
I think this is an elaborate hoax, you little minx
Hello mate, Nah not regreting buying the car, just missing that little bit more poke me thinks?? Now another negative on the car after driving almost 1000 miles it dos'nt feel as solid as the Mk5. You can feel where they have done the cost cutting, things like the locks as in centrole locking, my mrs even says that its not as solid as the ED30, and she knows nothing about cars. Maybe saying its a mistake is to much of a big statement??
I dont understand whay they have charged more money on the MK6 ? What i will do is get the mk7 gti next when it comes!! :cool:
That engine will be very tight, you need at least 3k miles on the clock before it starts to loosen up so hang in there. Mine might only be a 1.6TDI but it's a different car now it's done 3k and it's gettingbetter every day.
I think people are often looking along the wrong lines when VW say they have implemented cost cutting.. :rolleyes:
The MK6 is superior to the MK5 in everyway... if only by a little bit. :smiley:
The cost cutting related to production techniques, and the cost of putting the car together as opposed to the actual cost of the materials used. With the MK5 there were more extras to add (i.e. arm rest, mfsw etc) and therefore just the organising of each car would have taken quite some time.I think people are often looking along the wrong lines when VW say they have implemented cost cutting.. :rolleyes:Can you feel the cost cutting on the MK6? I know I can, but I agree with it is a much better motor!! :wink:
The MK6 is superior to the MK5 in everyway... if only by a little bit. :smiley:
I transferd the net over from my ED30, I very nearly did the gear lever too (Golf ball) miss that, But even the panels dont feel as solid , the door's, bonnet. I think the car is lighter as well?The cost cutting related to production techniques, and the cost of putting the car together as opposed to the actual cost of the materials used.

The only noticable cost cutting i can notice is lack of net in the boot, auto petrol release cap, gear lever, dials (which have a cheaper look).

iirc they have changed the panels (well doors anyway) from the ones with removable sins to normal ones. although i wouldnt say it makes it feel any less solid. Placebo?
Steve, I`m gonna slap yopu upside the head ! :shocked:
Just feed the GTD haters (well, Kev anyway) more ammunition why dont ya?
I just finished a week in a GTD with 6k on it and though I didnt like the DSG, it did feel quicker than mine, and I`m putting that down to the engine loosening up.

Since when did I say I hated the GTD ? I'm not the only one that laughs at it when its compared to the GTI but yeah just f**kin single me out. You pussy.
ooohh! :laugh:
you have changed from owning a car which has pretty much the same engine as the new Golf / Scirocco R, albeit slightly detuned, to a 170 ps diesel
Its like changing from a M3 to a 320d - your gonna notice a drop in power..
Look on the positive side of things though steve, your MPG will improve :cool:

Kev, you`re just the one that shouts loudest, thats why you get singled out, dont worry, it was said with lots of lurve :smug:
Makes me laugh when you call me a pussy, if we ever meet I dont think you would then (I dont mean that in a threatening way BTW).

You also noticed the bees are disappearing? Coincidence? hmmm
No i'm still here, looking to hear what people have to say ??

Are you doing the detaling youself?
Loving it, when she's nice and clean its stunning. She's due a wax again soon as the warmer weather is picking up a little here so will hopefully get that done.

Yeah, I do it all myself, its theraputic and really very rewarding. The detailing section is pretty good, the guys are spot on with their advice, especially Guy and Dan. I'm sure its a straight section so you may not be allowed in being the only ghay in the forum :grin:

I do my own as well , spoken to the lads in the detailing section and learnt a lot in there over the past couple of years , the best one is claying just brilliant that stuff. :wink:
Well here goe's , i know i'm going to get slauterd here , but i can take it!!Steve I have not got the time to troll through the 11 pages posted so far so forgive me if I am repeating what has already been written.
I think ive made a mistake going from a GTI to the GTD, i am having my doubts now on the performance of the car missing the fizz & handling?? :rolleyes:
Oil was very low this morning on the GTD, it almost took a pint of oil? Do diesel's burn more oil? thanks Steve :cool:Yes for the first 10,000 mils keep your eye on the oil. After the engine is beded down iol consumption lowers

I have been driving VW diesels for the best part of 20 years. Normally it takes some 4,000mls before you see your true mpg. The engine can take up to 6,000 mls and more before it loosens up.
Handling of diesels is not bad but it will never match the flow of a petrol car t

Sorry I thought going by your orignal post you were not sure if you had made the right choice getting a GTD.
You seem to be happy now thats all that matters not what anyone else thinks.
Yes I have tried the GTD and I would say its a great car you have got. I have a GTI on order and am looking so forward to getting behind the wheel. Had a drive of my sister in laws new Mini Copper S the other day. WOW what a drive but I would never buy a Mini for myself , I mean I have a family.
