robs (SCC) got the GTI 150 diesel

chipped to 198bhp apparentky goes well and 40+mpg

all golfs are pretty bomb proof TBH so you cant go far wrong

I have the 1.9 GTTDI and it is 130BHP as standard.

EXCELLENT car!!

 

Is it a mk4 or mk5?

105bhp mk4 must be the less powerful one, with the silver tdi badge, as you can get a 130 as well, with a red badge and i think one in the middle around 115bhp somewhere...possibly confusing this with passat but its the usual VAG engine mine field

Mk5 IIRC they do a 1.9 and 2.0TDI engine. looked at them myself but found them very very dull

 

I had a standard Golf TDi, never let me done once, had 190k on the clock
when i sold it and i still see it around.
The GT TDi is the daddy all the performance of thwe GTI but with 55mpg.

 

the gti tdi is available in a 150bhp version too on the mk4, genuine ones have wood trim

Our family car is a 1998 Golf Tdi. Its the lowest power one which is probably the 105bhp as you quoted above.

They are PISH slow but thats not what its there for! Get approx 100 miles per £10 of diesel.

EXCELLENT build quality. We bought ours at 84k miles or summat and it felt WAY better than the 53 plate 206 we swapped it from. The doors close with a pleasing thud etc.

We had one problem which was the water pump dieing. Apparently its really common on Mk4 golf.

cheers all

Chop, Im not to arsed about power, Afterall I drive a 38hp Mini


Its the miles im doing, Thats making me want a new car,I know that 240 miles is costing me £40+

and its raping me something cronic

 

i take it you are talking about a mk5 golf as this is the only tdi they do with a 105bhp engine. the mk4 were either 90, 100, 110, 115, 130 or 150bhp. they are all fantastic and bombproof!

 

Yup, happened on my mrs's 1.4 Timing belt went too

 

Ive got the GT TDI 115bhp, chipped up to around 130bhp (which is what later ones came with IIRC), even when i hammer mine round town and to work (2 miles away) i still get 35mpg, which is poor for a diesel, but out on long journeys i can see 57-60mpg easily, flies too!

 

hmmm ours might actually be the 90bhp weapon!

 

PD 150 GT TDI`s are 1 of the best all round cars you can buy!!!!

My Ex has 1,and the thing is FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! I was SERIOUSLEY debating to sell the 3dr and buy it!!!!!

I got to Scotland and back,6th all the way on £50 worth of deisel!!!!!!!!!!!!

AMAZING cars!!!

Pete..

 

As said wont be a GT as they were 115, 130 or 150 bhp. Being older one i would imagine its 90bhp or 115bhp. As said 90bhp wont be fast but have nice wad of torque for lasy driving.

Bullet proof if looked after.. make sure has FSH and whats mileage? as cambelts are not cheap to replace

 

As said, Rob from SCC has one and can probably give you the best idea what they are like.

I drove it after it was chipped and can confirm they go like stink! whilst remaining @ 42 mpg

 

 

I did Birmingham and back in my Focus, 80 both ways 240 mile round trip £21 in diesel.

 

Try a search mate as theres loads of threads about these cars as they're one of the best used cars out there.

i wasn't aware they made a mk5 105bhp model actually, that said i haven't a clue about mk5's mk3 & mk4's are more my thing!

they did a 110 gt tdi aswell, badging is a minefield, your best bet is to check the engine code then find out on the net what it is. 150 golfs have silver gti badge on the back, red di will be 115 or 130 red i will be a 110 and a all silver will be either a 90 or 100bhp.

GT badges were optional though on the 110, 115 & 130.

i think thats all correct!?

 

Have got a mk4 GT TDI 130 which has done 500 miles on one tank (@£43)

You can get these chipped up to @170. The downside is the suspension is a tad soft.

The 150 version has a larger turbo but suffers from pronounced turbo lag when compared to the 130 version.

 

buy my pug you bald cunt

got me to wales and back for £20

nah seriously the golfs are good motors mate

 

Chatting to my mate Kelvin, Who has the GTTDi 150

On £20, He's done 605 miles


£20 for me and I do 120 miles

 

Very good cars, not without problems, but thats like verything, if you find one and want a check on it PM me as i work for vw/audi

theres a few issues like window regs failing on the front, and rear washer pipes leaking, which fuck the book lock and rear wiper motor, but TBH i only ever see the ones that have gone wrong, id imgaine thteres just as many on the road that are fine

 

Bullshit thats 128 mpg

my saff does 67-70 miles on £20 round town

 

He must have been on tow

As for the electric windows problems, my mrs's golf had them too. Glass pane dropped inside the door at 60mph going down the A61 from Harrogate

 

I knew I'd turn you to a Golf Rad

My mate has a GT TDi and gets silly amounts of miles for his money, he's just finished kitting it out to look like an R32 as well, cracking cars

 

Who put the rest of the fuel in? If he gets that tell him i will buy the car of him 2k over book value

 

Well he said it costs £45 to fill up, and its done half a tank in 603 miles..


I dunno, Just going by what he said


I know wez..

 

I have a remapped (done by Stu) GT TDI 150 and it recorded 200+ hp and 315 ft·lb on PE rollers. Regardless of figures the car is very fast for example my mate in a Leon Cupra R with 225hp had a race on his hand last time we were out.

Currently I get around 460miles per tank before the light comes on and I get around 48ish mpg - mostly motorway miles. If driven carefully i'm sure it will do closer to 500.

who won???

 

He did have more weight in his car I guess

 

oh do you mean the 4 UP
