Hello!! Returning to a GTI at last!!
« on: 28 August 2007, 16:14 »

Hello all!   :smiley:

After running around in my Mk3 Golf TDi for the last 7 years, I decided it was time to go back to the GTi after 220,000 miles!   :wink:

Had my Steel Grey Mk5 GTI on the drive for a month now and am still looking for excuses to go for a spin everyday!!

Loving to be back in a GTI, have owned two Mk2's (8v and runout 16v) over the years.

how economical was ur mk3 tdi as i am on the look out for one of these at the moment. Were all the Mk3 Diesels turbo's or was it just the CL and GL TDI's that were?

Thanks everyone!

Neaty -

My Golf TDi was really economical and consistently returned around 50 - 55 mpg, even after the 200-odd thousand miles!  A general rule of thumb was around 500 miles to a full tank. 

Not sure if all the models were turbo's...the older one's tend to lose a bit of 'puff' towards the really high mileage marks.

However...I do know of a rather nice...
