so what would you buy ?? i fancy a diesel next but i aint the most clued up of diesel ppl so i just want to know whats on the market really

James

330 bmw or e320 cdi merc!

Ginge !

330d is the BEST car you can think of buying imo

theres not a bad thing to say about them,,,well there out my price range but apart from that

pollocks

ginge i can see them dropping a bit tbh i'm not looking to buy just yet but i do like them very much lol

_DAN_

What do you need it for? How about a cheaper Golf GT TDI MK4?

GTTDI MK4 Golf would be at the top of my list

pollocks

its gonna be for running to work in when its raining (i ride my push bike in the dry can't be bothered with sitting there wet after riding in all day) i ferry the bike around on the back of it on a weekend all over the country and then just the usual stuff on it

You can pick up a brand new Leon 2.0TDi FR 170PS for £17,500 and thats list price, so there will be cheaper out there

James

a 1.9 130 audi a6 chipped to 180 odd would be very high on my list for half the money of the 330.

Much nicer car in everyway possible than the golf/leon imho.

pollocks

just been looking at golfs on trader look like a better bet for me any more ideas ?

CozzyBrom

audi a4 2.5 4x4 wud b top of my list then a bmw 330

James

i've seen quite a few 2.5's go bang which has put me off, lovely engine when working though.

A bora tdi wth the same engine/trim spec as a golf tdi is cheaper and a lower insurance group... worth considering.

pollocks

i think a vag with a remap courtesy of stu would be the way forth cheers ppl

CozzyBrom

some lads i know work at audi place am sure they said ya can get nearly 500 bl/ft torque out them depending on what yr the engines sure he said it was the pre injector engine
not sure thow

pollocks

hmmm will have to look on some vag sites and see what the deal is :d cheers brom

I had a MKIV diesel anniversary golf, got it remapped to nigh on 200 ponies and it went like a rocket.

Paid £13500 for it and 18 months later sold it for £13500!

pollocks

the anniversary ones start at 8k and have a really nice interior and alloys :d think i'm gonna go and have a look at one tomoro just got to ring round a few now

OldSkoolRS

Its worth spending more now on one that has FVWSH an low mileage cos it'll help you retain its value.

Make sure it has had its cambelt done recently as VW are expensive, and the alloys corrode like fook so you'll need to clean them EVERY week with a tooth brush.

Generally the people who sell them know that they are desirable so you may have a bit of a task haggling.

Make sure you post a picture if you get one, I loved mine!!

You could also get a mk1 Leon Cupra Diesel, they're a 150bhp IIRC and look the mutts nuts

Plus,if you go down the VAG route, take it to IVC for servicing as they're really good and cheaper than main dealer. It's at Stourton near the Arla dairy

I've had a few mates who've taken their motors their and been well impressed, most recently dogsmoke took his fucked Carcraft Leon there and they sorted it right out

James
