• Volkswagen Golf V - Petrol or diesel 29 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  ". So should I go the petrol route?  I certainly get less miles on the clock for my money.   The 1.6FSi has 114 lb-ft of torque compared to the 323's 105 - too close to call? My assumption is that for the 2.0 petrol FSi, I'm looking at similar prices to the 2.0 TDi? I hope

  miles and turbo and DMF gone on that too. Last month we had a Vectra 1.9 D (2005 or 6, can't remember) engine totally AWOL at 100k (it was a taxi) and a similar age Mondeo TDCI with broken up fuel pump at 60k. No wonder there are some cheap s/hand cars about. My little bit of advice to diesel owners
