2002 Volkswagen Golf TDi review from UK and Ireland
"Go get one and find out"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Passenger side wiper blade needs replacing due to crimp in rubber.
I think that the rear blade will need replacing soon too.
General comments?
Full Spec car with heated seats, dimming rear view mirror, leather, automatic wipers and all still working!
I took my time choosing this car and first went for the 150bhp model, but the extras list on the 130bhp model drew me to it.
Economy is really cool - performance with 50+mpg is very unusual in a petrol car so go for the VW TDi PD models!
Had an Astra TD before this and the VW is a revelation...
