Welcome, even a k04 with 350+BHP can deliver twenties everyday, more on a run.

Things to look out for on the TFSI are cam follower, DV and PCV all inexpensive items to replace.  Also the front wings are prone to rust on the Mk5 something that VW usually repair outside warranty.

Welcome to the forum, hope you don't bump into any Cardiff fans on here    most of the common issues have been said and as for mpg ive seen 45mpg on a 20mile trip a number of times but normally I get around 32-35 when giving it some now and again.

This forum is full of fairies who drink prosecco.

Howdy. You won't go far wrong with a Mk5, they are excellent cars and the TFSI is very tuneable!
