Pre 02 reg GTTDi's question...

[Rhyso]

Also when did the 6 speed thing start in the tdi's?
As again i've seen a few y plate golfs that are 6 speed was that just an option?

I remember when I was looking for a 130 in the summer and so many coonts kept telling me that if it had the GT seats and 6 speed it was a 130.
Bloody coonts trying to rope me in to over charge me for a 110.

6 speed was first in the 115's although the very early 115's had 5 speed boxes too.  It wasn't an option

In hindsight I'd prefer a 5 speed box as the ratios are much better - I find myself short shifting all the time

I know what you mean Rhyso 6th gear aint that at all, I hardly use it even on the motorway as the revs can sit too low sometimes and the car starts to struggle.
I find 5th is much better and better for eco which i didn't think i'd ever say.

No wonder your MPG is down, thats the whole point of 6th gear 

I find it struggles a little if you're doing 60mph in 6th but I just feather the throttle and bring it it back up rather than change down

I only stay in 5th for like under 70 anything above I stay in 6th.

Only when I do over (cough cough) 70 are the revs high enough for the car not to struggle when you need a little more poke.

My MPG prob is deffo not this as my MPG is sh!te in all gears and scenarios.

Deffo gonna get topher or R-tech to have a good look at my car and check the whole fooker over for leaks and MPG probs, but this will be once i'm back from holiday  which I still have about 8 weeks left all my dough is being piled into this holiday at the minute should be worth it though
