Who's got one? Are they any good? Found one at a good price and in good condition. Any known problems? Cheers.
-
not got 1 but heard there better than the 2.0 in all ways :smiley:
-
+1 better than 2.0 and quicker i beleive :wink:
-
Any idea on the engine code? Apparently they are 125 bhp!
-
I've got one on a 99 plate. Much better than the 2.0. They have all the normal mk4problems lol, such as door module fault. Othwise its a great car...mpg for me is 30 on a roads going to work (quite slowly) coming home if I put my foot down abit it drops to 24ish.
-
i have one too. good car for if you cant aford a turbo imo.
yes its 3 seconds faster 0-60 than the 2.0 iirc. about 8seconds ish i think it was.
125 bhp as you said.
mpg i get about 34 average if i drive more economical ive had it up to 39 but that was driving rediculusly economicaly. if i floor it gets down as youde expect.
not the fastest car but still a good car.
can easily keep up with my mates abarth stilo which is a 2.4 leter car and same with my mates fiesta st so not a bad car imo.
cant get much more out of the engine with out spending lots, remaps get about 10 bhp extra and any more than thats going to cost a hell of a lot.
but still pretty good cars imo. if you need anymore info pm me.

AGN yep 125 bhp and loads better than the 2.0 8v :wink:
-
Better motor than the 2.0 but still a pretty slow and thirsty version of the golf imo, I had mine for 4 months and got rid of it as i couldnt justify getting 30-32mpg for such a poor performing car :embarassed:
-
known problems:- the turbo is missing!! :tongue: :laugh:

Wrong there. The 1.8T was over 8 seconds to 60 standard, the 1.8 20v non turbo was about 10 seconds.

sorry wrong button, was gonna press 9 but hit 8 by accident, exact figure is aroung 9.8. which i think is 2.5 seconds faster than the 2.0 but might be wrong.

Surely the 2.0 isnt over 10 seconds?! :huh:

Yep 10.2 secs

Think the germans designed the 2.0 engine when they were drunk or high :shocked:

To be fair it was only badged a GTI in the uk, the engine is fine stuffed in a mk2.
-
Still a poor engine at the end of the day for the germans usual engineering.
