oh it was shocking! full tank would last around 120miles max! was doing about £15 a day! just to and from work 1 hour round trip sounded amazing and was well woth it tho :D

got the door rubbers and tailgate rubbers genuine from vw! that was with discount too so id look for some mint second hand ones if i were you :)

that can't be right surely? I had a mk3 highline with filter/exhaust and i could get 300 miles from a full tank on a run and driving carefully with the occasional bit of spirited driving!

what did the chip do for the engine?

thats what it was doing :) but that tbh was driving hard most the time! its all country side wherei am ;)
the chip was on the ecu from the start so not sure but imo id stick to stock stock in most cases is actually better!
good £60/5 a tank when fuel prices were soaring!

maybe the cams were extra juicey i dont know

Did yours have a 45 litre fuel tank? thats really really bad 120 miles to a full tank even when absolutely hooning lol, you must have been giving it some!

Saw it at TSR Rolling Road day on Saturday 18th April! Had the front bumper/grill etc off and half the engine missing! Also had a slight fold that'd started to go rusty of the front passenger wing.....wonder what they've got planned for it? :think:
