A few weeks ago now when we stopped at my sisters new BFs house to pick up some stuff he came out to take a look at the Golf as he is into cars, he stopped and looked at me in a funny way and asked if it was a diesel and was I trying to pull a fast one, was so embarrassing lol.
Gave him some Milltek which soon shut him up, but the diesel "ticky" of the FSI engine is a tad annoying tbh.
