thinking of changing from 130 to 170 ??
« on: 24 January 2012, 20:25 »
is it worth the extra ££££££££££££s
 
I currently have a 51 plate pd 130 gt tdi and looking at maybe an 06/07 plate
 
would i gain much in terms of speed and acceleration?
 
maybe thingking about dsg but not too sure on that !
 
 
 
what do you think?
 
 
 
please do not just say 40 lol
 
 
 
regards

It's a totally different drive in standard form between the two cars

The 130 is nippier off the line (just) but it will get absolutely trounced past 2500rpm as the larger engine and turbo just keeps pulling

Then you give it another 30bhp and you end up with a great all rounder  :cool:  There's more to come from it but the DPF will need to go first
