To be fair mate, if it's standard you wouldn't wanna race anything off the lights, especially a TDI!  :grin:

you need to buy a vag U280 code reader off ebay for £22ish.. or take it to a garage and get them to read the codes as i a berlingo beats you off the line standard or not thats something wrong..

berlingo may be 130 but probaby twice the torque you have standard..

It's all about the torque and midrange. 150 bhp is pony and is a peak figure that it touches. 235 is ok but still not as quick as a teg which is far less. Golfs are fat!
