@Pudding our cars with fluids should weight around 1450 kg. Only the mk7 GTI weights around 1340 kg. 🙈

Really? I'm sure I read in my UK handbook the 'unladen' weight (for a manual) is around 1340Kg. I'll have to have another look!
@Shoduchi https://fastestlaps.com/models/vw-golf-gti That's probably on the light side but I still don't think a MK5 GTI weighs 1450kg! VW's quoted weights are with fluids, equivalent ballast for one passenger and half a tank of fuel.

I’ve had mine on wheel balancing scales. With my setup and around 3/4 of a tank it weighted 1511 kg. So around 1450 kg of car and fluids (taking my weight out). :thinking:

It states 1451 kg (EU rating). Mine is DSG, so it's a bit heavier than manual versions. :thinking:

She is a bit rusty under the covers.... but not too bad for 13 years old.
That bolt was a bitch to tighten up..... 180nm and 1/2 a turn
