Quoted a minimum of £700 to get it fixed :( One thing i noticed when he was testing it was that if the fault code was cleared and you ...

Re: Diesel or Petrol?
Yeah, i'm reconing on the gti. Can't resist that magic 200bhp mark... Dont think i could go from my gti to a diesel, i'll just have to save some extra money for the mpg.

Re: Diesel or Petrol?

So rare to find a nice diesel, been looking for the past few weeks with money burning a hole in my pocket! Gotta spend it soon, found a nice gti but the economy is worse than what im driving ...
