Cheers mate. Was originally looking for a tornado red one but cant beat black.. when its clean anyway, just gets dirty so fast!
B6NVW:
Just back from a 200 mile round trip to leeds to see some family
Pretty happy with 36mpg too!! Does this sound about right obviously motorway driving, mixed speeds due to traffic and no cruise control as it doesnt seem to be working?
Hurdy:
36 mpg on a steady cruise isn't too bad for a GTI. I have seen higher, but it is in the ballpark.
OCD cleaning tendencies are a must with a black VW. :happy2:
J400uk:
Yeah 36mpg sounds about right to me for a long run. You can touch 40mpg but mid 30s would be about average for motorway journeys. Cruise control helps and its not unknown for the original stalks to fail so that might be worth replacing.
B6NVW:
Back to work on monday so today I went to my local vw and had some new number plates made up for my private reg.
Followed by a trip to the post office to spend 265 on a little bit of paper that goes in the corner of my windscreen :sad1:
