Re: Mk4 Golf
Had this pd130 for a few months. High miles with rusty wings. Quite liked it good mpg pretty quick and still felt solid enough. Sold it to a mechanic mate who has fettled and improved it and kept it going.
Loads of diesels still going about, easily tuned and a favourite of the young barrie boys. Must've had 40 messages when I advertised mine. It was £130 mind you!

This as some of you know ended up back in my hands, I've sorted all the niggles (there weren't many), fitted my head unit and I'm running it till it dies (maybe), I'm certainly not going to lose any money on itConrad D. Conelrad wrote: ↑Tue Nov 03, 2020 2:23 pm I had this one for two months.

It was thoroughly underwhelming. It was slower than I expected a two litre hatchback to be, much slower, the handling was wholly disappointing and the interior quality was so poor that my current Rover 45 felt like a real upgrade - and the drivers seat fell apart on that. It averaged 30mpg, and was in the £320 tax band and my insurance company almost doubled my premium on renewal.
I have also noticed a large number of them still on the roads, so there must be something good about them. I think it's the cupholders, which were excellent. Also, who can really hate a car with gas struts on the bonnet?
I think its one of the few old cars that you can still not feel like the poor relation when you turn up somewhere in it, I agree on the handling and the underwhelming performance but its pretty good on the motorway and its engine suits a relaxed driving style.
Nice to see an intelligent reply on here.

Just when I thought I was out they dragged me back in.

I think under the bonnet was the shiniest part before the buffer man won it.

Re: Mk4 Golf
I quite liked mine, a TDi130. It went well considering it'd done over 200k.
