Petrol to Derv....
« on: 18 February 2009, 15:07 »
I've provisonally sold my mk4 and next I think i'm looking into getting... another mk4  :smiley:

I've spotted this on pistonheads and its far from standard tuning wise.

its a 130pd gt tdi with a hybrid turbo

251bhp
380 n/m torque
45+ mpg
£62 a year tax



I don't want to show many images of the car but I tihnk this is going to be an absolute weapon and worth going from petrol to diesel.

What you guys think?

well it ain't £62 a year to tax for starters - its £120  :wink:

as Tim said you want to ask who has done the work, conversion, what uprated clutch is fitted etc etc

You also want to check its driveable. It's ok haing high power but if you can't get it onto the road it's no good.
