Looking to buy a mk4 - any advice?

Whats the 30-70?

[Steve_PD]

about 7.5s

about 7.5s

really??  that in one gear?? would have thought it a little faster than that??    still probably quicker than a petrol 1.8T though 

[Steve_PD]

I got that from here
Petrol is twice that

28 secs to 100 isnt really quick 

Mine does 30-130 in less than that and in 1 gear 

[Jkctr]

Why would you stay in a higher gear 

Change down to second for the 30-70 and it will be quicker!

thats a heavily modded 130 isn't it?? they aren't standard figures  

i hate to think the damage you do to your flywheel pulling in 6th from 30mph

cos 2nd in a 6 speed diesel only goes to 58mph plus at 30mph in 3rd you're very close to hitting the sweet spot of torque

Ah, why do they always compare the same gears to the diesel though, as it would make sense to change down for the petrol

Or about the same power as mine
