  • New Golf 2.0 TDi Manual

    Hi Guys,

    My first post, so i wanted to make it a good one!

    Just picked up my new Golf this afternoon after a 3 month wait. Was told back in August that the car would arrive late December, and from the threads i read on this site i figured around 4 months was to be expected. To my surprise, last Friday the dealership (Barloworld Mascot) called up and said that the car had arrived 4 weeks early because the shipment of VW's (which my car was apart of) docked in Sydney.

    Have to admit, was becoming somewhat disheartened over the past 2 weeks wondering whether the wait would be worth it. Wow, how wrong i was to think such things! Not only did the car exceed my expectations, but just blew me away (and a whole bunch of other cars whilst in pole position at the first set of traffic lights after leaving the dealership!). There is alot to be said for the amazing feeling you get by sitting in your car when it has all of 8 km on the clock!

    I've read with great interest all threads on the Mk 5 Golf and in particular the TDi (thanks Brackie), and have to say that the information i gained on this site went a long way to helping me choose VW above any other vehicle. Will say upfront that i am an absolute convert. Granted it's early days and i have many thousands of kilometers before she's run in, but hopefully this will be the beginning of a whole series of VW's in my driveway!

    Thanks again for all your information.

    Cheers,
    diffa

        Welcome.

        Nice to have another TDI owner on board. If you require any info on the TDI (oils etc) do a search of our database. The link is on the dark blue menu bar above

        Use the torque and keep on leaving those Commodore drivers as dots in the mirror

            Hi minigolf,

            Was that your new GTi! That car (your car!) was parked right next to mine and as i drove away I specifically remember thinking...."really want that grill from the GTI on my golf...!"

            What a tidy looking piece of machinery...!

            Cheers,

              Mark, not mine, but a fellow minigolfer. His name is Eddie, and he has a silver Cooper S to go with his new GTI. Juts as my wife has a GTI to go with my MINI. We collected our GTI last weekend, so there's a few Golfers basking in that new car smell.

                      I am looking at the same car 2.0 TDI Man.
                      Was quoted 37,500 on road, I reckon it's a bit steep.
                      Was wondering what you guys payed for yours...

                      Thanks Rod

                        Are you talking about the Comfortline Rod ? If so i think thats a fair bit to much. I already have a Comfortline 2.0 DSG that my wife drives and am thinking about buying a manual for myself - so am interested to know what a good price for the manual is - with metalic paint of course - does anyone buy them in white ?

                          Yes that was for the comfortline. I was expecting around 34,000 on the road.
                          Vw had a speical a few months back for 30,888 drive away for the 1.9 comfortline.
                          All they had as demo's where DSG's. I need to find a manual to test drive...

                            Comfortline manual

                            I paid 35,700 for mine in June. 6 speed in metallic red with no extras. There's only one dealer here in Tassie so I didn't shop around.
