I had a Golf Plus 1.6tdi bluemotion for 2 days while my ED30 was at the garage . It was brand new , virtually , it was rubbish , probably very economical but being a diesel i expected it to have some low down torque , it wouldn't accelerate under 2000rpm , had to rev it up to 3000 plus to get it to keep up with traffic !
Good luck Andy with your Bluemotion , would be good to see another post
