you mean 6N2 yeh?

i can't remember the last time i filled my tank to the top so could help you there lol,

but my current MPG figures around 30. i do mostly town driving, with a 10 mile motorway trip once a day. i don't drive reservantly, but I don't rag it about stupidly

yer 6N2, ah right, so how many miles would you be seeing to a full tank??
how much could you pick up a decent GTI for cause i cant seem to find many about

Well at the moment it looks like Â£3.5-4 will pick you up a decent one. sucks they've lost value so much.,

Umm... full tank figures, maybe like 300 for me? Although don't quote me, it's just an estimate.

Â£10 won't even fetch you two gallons nowadays, so i've not put more than half a tank in for months now!

ahh well i cant say i rag my car about alot so 300 seems feesable
what are they like?? am i right in saying to look for one with a reconditioned gearbox and pedal box?

Bought my polo gti in january, filled it up in dundee and got back to chesterfield on that full tank which was 350m and a coulpe of tenths, didnt take it particuly steady especially on the A66 dont think it saw below 80 for 60 miles so was well happy with 350, have got slightly more but only like an extra 10 miles on a run. but 300 out of a tank is easy

The pedal boxes had a re-call to reinforce the weld. So it's not really a problem.

If it's done, great. If not, take it back and get it done FOC.

The gearbox is something you need to look out for, it's the weakest point of a car. Just look out for whining sounds in gear particularly in higher gears. If it's popping out of gears (esp. 4th) walk away.

Cambelt and water pump change are a plus too. Any GTi over 50k should have it done.

clutches on the car are generally stiff, it's seems that the release bearing is quite flaw. Look out for faint whining when the clutch is down.

That's just a couple of things, Max has done two great sticky threads that will tell more!

End of the great they're amazing little cars, and anybody would be proud to own one
