Getting a feeler...

tbh mate if your doing alot of mileage you might be better goign for a gt tdi you will get good mileage anad you can still get power from them just look at Steve_PD got 200bhp plus a piss load of tourqe to match

I would say go for the 1.8t you wont be dissapointed but you prob wont see that good a mpg unless you drive like a saint plus you can tune your balls off!

either way diesel or petrol you can still style it the way you want will just be different under the hood

[Rhyso]

Derv   not a great deal of difference in performance unless you get an R32  

Diesel ftw.

these men speaketh the truth 

[T_J_G]

1.8T all the way. What power diesels you looking at anyway?110,115,130 or 150?

I can get 40MPG in my 1.8T

[Shady Pioneer]

Thanks for all in the input guys I appreciate it.


If it was a diesel, I dunno which one to go for, whichever one I can tune the most I guess?


Is 110K - 150K a lot of miles for a MK4?

[T_J_G]

Not really, I always thing about 10k a year is reasonable. Have a look at what power diesels are in your price bracket. I think they'll be 110,115's or 130's.

[Shady Pioneer]

Just having a real quick look, I can get 110, 115 and 130 within £2300. A fair amount of 1.8Ts are going for around £2000 with around 115K miles on them.

oh shady, what are you thinking

130 ftw

130's at that price range will be very high milers i would have thought

if you're only doing 5-6K a year and mainly short journeys then a 1.8T will be fine; if you do mainly long distance journeys then diesel FTW

although another thing to consider is that petrol prices have crept up recently  

[Shady Pioneer]

oh shady, what are you thinking 

Maybe I want to try something new chuff
