PD130 - Smoke after boost....wtf!?

nippy for what it is.
thought you loved vagcrap?

So you want a really fast car that returns brilliant mpg?

So you want a high powered diesel

but you wont drive said fast car hard incase it brings youre mpg down.......

so why bother paying the premium for a fast car youre never going to drive hard????????

Go get a bosch pumped XUD, Stage 1 tune, Whack on a HDI gearbag and start collecting waste veg oil, good mpg and free fuel

No I hate vagcrap, its just a forum rumour lol.........infact right from buying the first mk4 a year ago I've said every time I don't like them as a whole........but they're much better specced, better on fuel, cheaper to tax, much comfier and theoretically more reliable than most of the stuff in my price range. Just a shame they cost lots, Im unlucky so mine aren't reliable and cost lots when they do go wrong, they don't handle at all and they look dull and boring but with stupidly wide arches for no reason.

But anyway...yeah, why can't I have a fast car that does good mpg?

Ignoring the ESP light which randomly comes on.........this is the average mpg of 100miles the other day lol..........find me another 180bhp car that still retrns that kind of mpg.



I don't WANT a diesel at all tbh, high powered or not, and I think this is where my main problem is.........that I cannot afford a petrol, so I'm never gonna be happy with something that Im stuck with for mpgz, regardless of the power its got.

I used to drive fast...until it started breaking things....and until I ruined my car by fitting a bigger laggy turbo to it! The 106 NAD I drove everywhere at 95mph lol.........I was much more likely to get caught speeding in that than the golf tbh lol. But I hated that cos there was no overtaking power, and thats what I want a 'faster' car for. I have to overtake a lot of slow people/tractors/bikes on crappy little country roads with few overtaking places....which really wasn't easy in the 106 and ended up with lots of beeps and flashes lol, whereas the golf used to 'fly' straight past people no problem.

The other problem is small cars is their lack of spec.........I like lots of toys in a car - cruise control, climate control, leccy windows and mirrors, leather wheel, leather seats, armrest etc etc............and high spec can almsot make up for slight lack of speed imo........depending how much obv.

I'm not getting a DT lol.
