Hi guys

My girlfriend is looking to buy a mk 5 1.9 tdi, can anyone post a link to any specifications for it? Bhp, mpg etc.

thanks!

Cheers buddy, managed to find a couple of details, 105 bhp, 0-60 in about 11 secs etc, 55ish mpg.

Anyone know what they're like to live with? Any pitfalls with this model, or common stuff to look out for when buying? Eg rust spots, electrical issues?
Cheers guys!

I have a 2.0tdi, same car basicly as what ur looking for i wud amagine. No faults with mines, on 60k miles and havent had much to replace on parts at all really. I get 60mpg on the average setting which is on the highline clocks. Ive got 140bhp and im 4 wheel drive. Get a 4motion, quite rare i believe? I havent seen another mk5 4motion since i got mines.

Wow 140 bhp? Why so much extra when the 1.9 tdi is only 105? Is this higher bhp cos its a syncro model? To be honest im a bit clueless when it comes to mk5's...
This one is being sold as a "sport" model, as its got the 17" gti wheels (monza i believe) smoked rear clusters, colour coded bumpers and full leather interior, although i dunno if all of this was availible as optional extras or has been added by the owner? You have any idea if these would have been factory fitted?

Best way to find out is go on i think its PARKERS? its a car website and basicly just type in what car etc on the menu's and it tells u everything from front to back what comes as standard or whats an optional extra. Thats what i done before I bought mines. I was quite lucky as the 4motion has a really good spec, has everything standard except climate control and cruise control. Pretty much got the rest from ipod dock to armrest, rcd 500 or whatever it is with sat nav etc and also its got cloth sports seats which r better than the gt sport spec seats.
