I had a GT TDI mk4 so something different now.

I know other cars have niggly faults but it seems every part is designed to break on the mk4.

get out whilst you still can, soon there wont be many 1.8t owners left to sell the parts too before long if everyone keeps jumping ship.  :sad:

I know how you feel mate (time for a change). Especially with fuel prices they way they are (and liekly to go).

Makes sense to save for a deposit as you said though. I would love to be able to do more to my car, but since getting myself a place in April, funds have been non-existent (espaecially with a wedding coming up).

You'll have to move on to house-modding instead  :wink:

they arent that good for mpg, round the town my mate gets around 30 and he drives like an old man, my sisters ex had a ghia tdci and this was even worse!

passat ftw, under rated cars imo, lovely suspension and long drives are a joy, 130pd with a remap :laugh:

My dad has a 2003 130PDI for around 5 years now but i drive it alot.And it's such a  nice car to just "drive" Rides so plush nice everyday engine to use its great.Gets 40's around town in the winter and 50mpg Nps on a 80mph run

Great car.And really well built (as i'm sure guys on here know) my mates 2007 didn't feel nearly as solid.Or maybe its just me

same here, my dads is an 03 b5.5, love it, but drove a workmates 09 plate and just wasnt as impressed with it, think it was the 140 model but it felt like it was dragging lots of weight.
