Shadow blue gti.
mk1mad:
Recently picked up a shadow blue 3 door dsg, been looking for a while as wanted a blue car without leather and sunroof.
This turned up not perfect but 2 owners 72k got it for a decent price as it's never had a cambelt and needs some tyres.
The car seems a massive improvement over the mk4 gti which I have had for the last 8 years.
What sort of fuel economy should I be getting with dsg ? driving it really steady I can't get more than 33mpg.
I have started on the jobs replaced the cam follower, pcv valve next up the DV I am hoping that is causing the low fuel economy. Also need to do dsg reset and cambelt and waterpump.
Because of the overdue cambelt I have been taking it pretty steady.
Leonpettit:
33mpg seems about right. I was getting similar in my old k03 gti. Looks tidy!
mk1mad:
Thanks, just been out this evening and done the DSG reset. What a massive improvement so much smoother.
Cambelt and waterpump next.
