Goodbye 1.4, Hello tdi (still not a gti :( )

(1/2) > >>

FrameSet:
Hi all,
Seeing as im off to uni in September i wanted something a little more economical and something a bit quicker. Picked up this 2004 1.9 tdi SE yesterday. (so if anyone is in the market for a very tidy 1.4 petrol let me know)! This one isnt in the best shape but it's 10 years old and milage is reasonably low, so pretty pleased with it.
I have a few plans for it and if i remember ill stick some pictures on here as they happen.





So, anything you think is a bad idea or any other suggestions? Also, what sort of mpg can you guys get from your 1.9 tdi SE's?

Cheers, Matt

Looks a sensible upgrade which should perform better than your 1.4 and will definitely be good on fuel. I average just under 50 mpg from my 2.0 GT TDI 170 and have had up to 58 mpg on steady cruises so I'd expect your 1.9 SE (is it 105 PS) to be able to produce more than that.

Sjw_Vw:
Should look great when you finish it :happy2: Nice base to start with. Look forward to seeing what you do with it :smiley:

I had a 1.9 TDI SE before my GTI, they're good engines. Plenty of torque, and I hit 650 miles per tank when commuting from Cornwall to Essex regularly. Keep the oil fresh and she'll outlast you!

Wooosh:
Sounds like you've got some good plans for this already, look forward to seeing the build.
