Default MK4 VW Golf GT TDi 130 6 speed-What are they like?

Been offered the above for a good price. Took it home tonight and drives very well with good power.

What they like to live with? Costly to repair?

Thanks
Tony

had 2 150s (one anni, one non anni) and they were awesome cars. Then I had them remapped and they just became a totally different car. Typical TDi economy when cruising but when you floored it, the boost would pin you back. Managed 59mpg on a run from Newcastle to Leicester and back on a 200+bhp 300lb/ft remap.

Get it mapped, you'll not regret it
