thinking of changing from 130 to 170 ??

[MK4_20VT]

I have done this, upgrade as I would put it & would not go back

My MK4 130 was quite stock so what I noticed

The Mk5 GT TDI 170 feels rock solid to the MK4, Shocks, Steering, ride is firmer I love it

Power the MK4 130 is nicer at 1500rpm pottering around, but over all power the mk5 170 is a feckin Rocket.  I still have not put my foot down fully I love it.

Not a cheap upgrade though,  oh check your insurance though as I did get told on the phone "thats a quick TDI" & I now pay £540 fully comp from £300 for the mk4

I was on about changing car not remapping it

Re-read what I wrote

Thankfully VW got their act together and actually built a decent chassis for the MK5 / A3 platform    The MK4 chassis is terrible

Weird; the insurance on my Aldi is exactly the same as the Golf    Tax is a b!tch though as it just falls into the higher category!!
