Hi everyone,
Some of you may know me and my car. In any event I am now selling it as I have upgraded to a Golf R.
Before I go any further I just want to say that this car is NOT affected by the VW dieselgate scandal. Dieselgate affected Golf VI TDIs.
The basics:
The mods:
Car pulls incredibly well and has what I consider to be tasteful and not extravagant mods
You'll be surprised that it's a diesel. I've not done a proper dyno run but I know it puts out more than a stock GTI. I test drove an R the other day and while it is quicker off the line, this little TDI will give the stock R a run for its money from a rolling start. The torque is amazing and thanks to the suspension mods it handles quite well for a FWD too.
This car is truly one of a kind and I know there is no other like it in Qld, and possibly Australia. With all that it does, it still sips fuel and on average reaches 750km per tank. I know I am moving on to an R, but I will still miss this TDI.

Sold as a package - $16,990. Carsales link: 2008 Volkswagen Golf GT Sport V Auto MY09
Note: quad LED tails and front HID, pre-lowered (was not fitted with Sachs Performance coils at this stage)
