Well converting a diesel to petrol is going to be a lot of work hence why I suggested leaving it as is.

We're not all work shy you know...  :grin:

Never seen a 1.8T MK3 wagon before :) would be so sick, but as wayne said.. you would lose the sensible derv daily :undecided:

But as i don't think we do sensible, DO IT :D wouldn't be that much work, i'm swapping everything over as piece of mind for mine.. ;)

Not the point I was trying to get across, look at what needs swapping / changing over = major work.

To me a TDI estate is a good practical and cheap to run daily.

I know what you're saying, I'm speaking in jest, however, to Jack it is also a good practical run around, perhaps he's bored of that.  To him an estate could soon be a practical sleeper. and save the MPG woes for another car.

If you have access to a lift the diesel -> petrol change isn't that bad. A mate of mine has done it three times on his mk2 daily  :shocked: Started like as a 1.6 driver, swapped to 1.9 td, then to a 2.0 8v, back to the 1.9 td for work, back to 2.0 8v for summer and it's been a 1.9 td for a while now.
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

Definitely feeling the 1.8T wagon idea.
