Hello everyone, first post on the forum.
A change in my job has seen my daily commute go from 20 miles to 100 miles a day, and therefore I recently bought a 1999 Golf GT TDI 110, I went to see quite a few and ended up travelling 125 miles to buy what I have now.
Previous to this I have driven every model of GTI, along with numerous Corrado's and was guarded about how impressed I would be with a TDI but needs must and during the test drives of numerous GT TDI's I was satisified with the performance.
A couple of weeks on I've got to admit to feeling a little disapointed with the GT TDI, when the turbo kicks in great but for me the car has major flat spots and the power is just not direct enough trying to nudge the car for 80 - 90 on the motorway takes consideration.
Part of me feels that with previous cars I've been spoilt and perhaps expected too much but I was wondering what other peoples thoughts were, or whether it is really accepted that the 110 is slightly under-gunned.
Also I was wondering whether many others have had chips or engine re-mapping and whether they felt it was worth the expense?
