nice 1, 4 that m8 i will have a keep looking around, i will take a look at urs nw!!

some will tell you its the best diesel engine (well i will anyway!)

LMAO

the 130 gives you mix of added economy and performance over the 115

the 150 gives obviously gives you a faster car, and you get a few extras as standard however they cost more and the insurance is higher.

regarding economy i normally average 52-55 from a tank which lasts me ~ 550 miles

i personally thing the 150 bhp is still the best VAG diesel lump, esp when you look at the performance / economy against the MK5 TDI's

eg the MK5 GT TDI 170 has an extra 20 bhp & 30 Nm of torque but is only .4 sec quicker 0-60 and 2 mile quicker on the top end, and for these gains in performance you get 5 less miles to the gallon, which in my opinion is exactly progress.

what car have you got at the moment? 

i expect you'd be happy with either the 130 or the 150

55 mpg  i took mine down the motorway to blackpool running at 75-80 mph all the way and it was at 41.5 mpg out of a 150 gt tdi but when i tinker on the country roads i get 45-48. if i got a remap would i see a better fuel comsuption or worse ?

sounds like your consumption is down a little, i have got a green air filter and cruise on mine though which improve economy.

a re-map will improve economy whilst cruising eg steady speed, but when you rag it you'll probably drink more.

best and worst from mine are 62.9 run to work and 25.6 country lanes

got a ford puma at the moment m8, want get rid of it cus its 2 small, plus diesel will keep on runing 4 ever  , better mpg. think i will be goin 4 da 130 bhp, then get it chipped

Good choice

[Ridg]

a chipped 130 is going to be quicker than a puma too!

miles more more, miles more to the tank, and miles better build quality

good luck in the search for your GT TDI!

Something not right there. I average at least 50 mpg with my 110 and would expect the 150 to be around the same at that speed on a motorway run.
I'd start off with looking at servicing i.e. when was the air filter last changed?

..for all those who are considering getting a TDI over a petrol, the 150TDI has more torque (236 lbs/ft) than an Impreza Turbo, Clio V6 and Porsche Boxster S. The car is absolutely amazing on the motorway, it just doesn't stop pulling. You'll leave most drivers behind. And it's quiet - 90 mph in 6th gear = 2500 rpm.

Go get one!
