Traded in my gti for mk6 tdi blue motion

As no one has got round to it yet,  may I be the first to say: Good choice and enjoy your new car  :driver:

One minor point, you've swapped an Eco Golf and your already looking to make it faster? Maybe the 2.0 TDI 140 BM may have been more suited to you?

The only reason I don't like the Eco versions is usually they come with longer gear ratio's which can be annoying when you're expecting it to pick up... not saying the Golf is like that but the Volvo and Ford Eco versions are; the GTI picks up better from low revs.  The Fuel economy is great though! :happy2:

I didn't go to buy the tdi I went to get some parts for my gti and the dealer had very good offers on all there car I was gonna go for mk6 gti or gtd untill I was talked into to trying the 1.6 tdi for a few hours
I gave it all it had every where and was still getting 50 mpg I couldn't burn the fuel no matter what I did
And they gave me 10 grand for my gti against the tdi
It's just 1st and 2nd gear where there is no power just want a nice kick up the ass to get it going then it's fine
