I used to have a MK5 GT TDI 140. Great car. Very punchy and a great motorway car. The 170 is just a remaped 140 with a twin exhaust pipe.

Cheers Jay.. I prefer the 140 anyway.. remap to 170 is more than enough for me at the moment.. Have just been looking and texted and emailed a few just awaiting replies.. also emailed a guy about his A3 who is talking to his brother and getting back to me..

All suggestions welcome people  :smiley:

get the golf as you can get a PD140 GT TDI for your money. Keep an eye out for a good spec one, they are uncommon but they are out there.

The 2.0 is a fair bit more refined than the 1.9 (I own both) as I am told it has an extra balancing shaft.
