pete8tch 0 Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 looking to buy a new car soon , gonna keep my vr but want something a bit newer , thing is im seriously thinking i want a tdi .got a mate that has a 130 thats been chipped and it feels really quick and does 50 odd to the gallon.got a serious dilema, heart says fast brain says cheap.used to be no point in diesel if you didnt do a lot of miles but the fuel prices have made me rethink tbh.

simonvr6 0 Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 yes get one,our mk2 mk4 engined gttdi 150 lump software mapped to 194 bhp is quick and it actually questions the vr. Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 id have thought it would be quicker than the vr?? Link to post Share on other sites
simonvr6 0 Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 It is to a point,it needs vtec or something,theres not enough revs.too much revs and holding gear and it strangles itself. it can hold its own round town, and has good sink in your seat feeling.and its eaten a gearbox (mk3 tdi 5sp) after the programming.

pete8tch 0 Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 thats gotta be close to 300 ft/lbs of torque too.seems a resonable trade off for the mpg. Link to post Share on other sites
Bampson 0 Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I have a MK5 TDI for work not too bad the only complaint, the road noise is terrible . I think that is down to the tiers after the first change I will report back.... Link to post Share on other sites
pete8tch 0 Posted October 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 must be old age creeping in i think , i fancy a few things but i just have this kinda economy thing going on .maybe a anniversary tdi then they seem cool. Link to post Share on other sites
chris harrison 0 Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 they are good, but its all or nothing. you put it into gear foot down, nothing, nothing, nothing, everything, change gear. sayin that tho i drove a gttdi 150bhp once. when i got 2 the place i was taking it, it was doin about 54mpg, and that is off the m-way. !amazed Link to post Share on other sites
