55 litres

same as all the other golfs bar R32 and 4Mo  :nerd:

there is some space in the fuel filler neck and you'll get more fuel in on a colder day

my low diesel light comes on at 70 miles left but I have gone 40 miles passed 0
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

IIRC i read some where in a VW mag that the light will come on when the tank hit 5L left. With a little un-sciantific experiment i did this and think its about right.
What i dont know is how far 5l of fuel will get you. I didn't take the experimant that fare  :shocked: :smiley:

4.56 litre is 1 gallon so 5 litres say just over a gallon so basically dependant on what you average your mpg to be
