different 5th gears?

[Haribo!]

Did I read that you can change 5th gear for a different longer gear? 

[Ben Lessani]

iirc, yes, from the 4+e box

Yeh I have a GTI, I only want to change the 5th gear, not the whole box, I figure il save petrol, its not like I accelerate much in 5th so I may as well get the revs lower.

Not much point on an 8v.  I hear they get good MPG.  Are you one of the select few who choose the 16V?

[Wayne]

Very little point in changing to be honest.

[danny_p]

you can put a diesel one in, but you need torques to make it worth it,  1.8 8v imo not got nuff torques

Nah its an 8v, does a good 10 mpg more than any of my 16vs did. I miss the power abit tho.
