other than the usual MK4 faults (glove box, temp sensor) I wouldn't change my TDI for anything else.

130 TDI - 185bhp/300lbft/45-55mpg  :evil:

What's not to like!  Other than the fact that I just keep wanting to spend more and more money on it! (FMIC, Sachs Clutch, Bigger Brakes...) :rolleyes:

Even sounds great with the largebore down pipe, de-cat & DSG intake (well for a diesel anyway...).

Only faults have been a broken armrest clip and the clutch which has started to slip every now and again but that's hardly the cars fault when its got around 300lbft to try and control!

Well, I've owned by oil burner for about 8-9 months now and I have to say it's the best car I've ever owned.

I was absolutely gutted when I lost my beloved Focus, but as they say, every cloud has a silver lining :smiley:

I average about 45-50mpg, have gone to Scotland and back on a full tank of fuel and just can't get enough of the turbo diesel tourque :evil:

Overall 9/10 - only bad point - expensive to service!

in what way?? oil, filter, air filter and fuel filter is approx £60-£70 and about an hour of your own time

or are you putting it into a garage for servicing??

I put it into an Audi garage mate. I have a mate that works there who gives me a sh*t load of discount :smug: I was just saying that on the whole when compared to other cars, it's generally more expensive to keep it on the road.

depends on the mileage you do i guess - i service mine every 10K and either do it myself or one of my mates gives me a hand

general wear and tear items can be expensive - window clips etc but in the main i've found it cheaper to keep on the road than my old MK2 Golf - at least with this car the money i spend i CHOOSE to spend rather than begrudge paying it  :laugh:
