I would go for the 130. I've got a 100, you don't get a 6 speed, box even with a remap i don't get as good economy on the motorways as a 130. Think this is because the engine has to rev higher in 5th. The 130 is cheaper aswel. Depends how important speed and economy is?

PD 130 - after 8 months of owning TDi, I manage to get 50+ mph on motorway driving constantly around 60 mph (no cruise).

I get 58mpg at 70mph :tongue:

Got 52.9mpg over a tank with mixed driving over 520 miles and still had 1/4 tank left :cool:
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

yep 100% sure, had it every day for the last 3 weeks, slowed down from 80-90mph to 70 and gained 10mpg.
Just keep at a constant 70 dont slow down behind lorrys and the speed up, back off going down hills, dont floor it going up hills etc
Most Ive had is 72mpg but that was below lorry speed :sad:
