Title: Proud MKV owner in Burton on Trent
Post by: bbfb10 on October 09, 2013, 09:32:12 pm

Very excited as l purchased my MKV today. Replacing a V plate MKIV  which has become a money pit as l never really looked after it. New car is a 2.0 TDI, picking it up over the weekend hopefully and looking forward to some good times with it. Not really into "modding" as such, but there are some improvements l would like to make. First up are the electric window switches which are a bit tatty and the climate control controls. After that, maybe some kick plates and a boot pop kit. Im based near Burton on Trent, so would be great to hear from other members in the area.

Hi Matto, thanks for getting in touch. Im sure I will be pestering you for help/ideas fairly soon. Cant wait to get my new car on the road. Took it for a test drive yesterday and the difference between it and my old Golf (MKIV SDI) is huge.

Hi Maxitrol, always good to meet people starting from a similar point. Anything l should keep an eye out for with my TDI?

Welcome.

The 2.0tdi is fairly reliable and goes well with a remap, though coming from an SDI no doubt you think it is perky enough.
