scott8629 0 Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 After braking my Pug 205TD work hack im thinking of wiping the slate clean and getting anothe Golf.I need a turbo diesel as I have 80 mile round trip to work.So I would prefer a mark 2 GTD but these are very rare, how do the mark 3 TDi's drive?What kind of milage can they do?What kind of price should I pay?I dont want a mint example but it has to be reliable and relativly clean.All coments welcomeScott Link to post Share on other sites
vdubgirl 3 Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 I have a little H plate TD mkII golf nothing special but it starts drives and does 60+ mpg and i use mine for work as I've taken another job now and I do a 40 mile daily round trip. I got mine scott free (excuse the pun lol) with a blown head gasket and 160 on the clock so all it now owes me is £150 You can pick them up for about £500 but like you said the gtd's are rarer than the td's. What i'm considering doing in the future is buying a vento tdi as there cheaper than a golf and thats all I want for work is something cheap and cheerful :-) Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 theres three different diesel mkIII's...- 1.9D (don't even bother, is as slow as the 1.4 petrol, 60bhp i think)- 1.9TD (ok i suppose, 75bhp)- 1.9TDi (deffo the one to go for, 90bhp and pulls well) Link to post Share on other sites
