Had a little play and ONLY just won up to 80. I have a v6 4motion golf and was suprised at the speed of the thing. It was a 54 plate so i would be suprised if it was 'chjpped'

GOT TO GET A DIESEL[]

i've played with a 2.0tdi golf and 2.0tdi A3 and was pretty much nothing in it compare with my bog standard pd130

My wife has a 320 sport ( 53plate ) and my car is MUCH quicker than hers - OK so the 320 only has 170 bhp.

Pah, eat my soot mk5 boy [:O]

They are quick, the trouble is the reps who are driving them think they are in an F40 or faster, tailgating any mk4 they can see. I love seeing their face as I just steam on ahead at a rapid pace []

54 platers can be chipped......mine is !

188bhp / 400Nm approx.

And my 320d Sport Touring is faster in the real world than her petrol version. Get her over to the dark side.....

 

[damianmkv]

I tried but she has only done 5000 miles in 18 months so it wouldn't have been worth the extra pennies. Although, I think I will chnage it for the new 330d next year

 

[Ian W 40]

5000 miles in 18 months - tell her to get a bloody taxi! Or buy her a Fiesta....

Looking at new 320d myself (co. car so 330d is not an option) but lease costs are high if you add spec. Maybe I should just get another Golf....

 

[damianmkv]

Previously she had the Mk IV 1.8T and racked up an almost unbelievable 7000 miles in 20 months but got fed up with it due to mechanical problems ( it had numerous ignition coil problems )..someone got a good buy with that car !!

Yep, I looked at the 320d too ( I had a 318i SE ) but like you say, once you put on a few options, the car is suddenly ?27K. Yikes ! Although, if you go to Superchips, they relieve you of 500 smackers and you go home with 205bhp ! Hoorah !!

You think the standard 2.0 is fast, wait till you try a chipped one! I just got mine chipped and it goes like the clappers!!!!!

 

[SteveTDCi]

but how quick will the 168 be when chipped [H]

 

[mrcabbage]

My DSG 2.0TDi has yet to be beaten off the lights. Slot it into Sport, floor it and let it do the rest!

I'm working on it matey.........

 

[SteveTDCi]

someone get hold of the new passat and have a go[H]

 

[damianmkv]

You think the standard 2.0 is fast, wait till you try a chipped one! I just got mine chipped and it goes like the clappers!!!!!

What are the figures ? I guess somewhere around 188bhp ? Am thinking about having mine done ( its only got 1200 miles on it )

 

[cheechy]

I wouldnt say that it goes like the clappers. Saying that it goes rather well is a more accurate description.

It may stay with an unmodded S3 or Cupra R for a little while but couldnt see it living with them on a sprint to 100.....

 

[damianmkv]

OK - I'll remember not to try 0-100 drag races then ![]. Most of my driving is motorways so the 50-(ut-hum) "70" is more of an indicator for me

you dont need to use sport, just floor it from a standing start, and you get the same result

Well of course - What I ment was the modded version is a lot faster than the stock model, it puts a smile on my face, and a holy *** look on an unsuspecting friend when they drive it - . After driving a Farrari the weekend (brothers wedding flash git) The golf doesnt come close, but until I win the lotto the golf will do just fine for thrills....

 

[cheechy]

Sorry just felt I had to clarify the comments a little - the problem here is that on a forum its hard to convey how 'quick' a car actually is!

I'm speaking as an owner of a chipped 2.0TDI A3.
