Hi all....

Just want some info on these....

Any good??? Also how much are they new?
How long have they been out?
How much will a second hand one cost me??
How much for an import?
And where to get an import from?

If you can help with these I would be grateful!

Thanks

Not been out long (couple of years?) and still pricey when I looked. BIG torque figure though and nice inside. AMD could probably sort it a bit further too

Have a look on autotrader to get an idea, an look on AMD, they have some cars for sale.

Hi Neil

Nice car - I had the 110 bhp thru work for a month last year & that one wasn't half bad!

Second hand ones can be quite difficult to get hold of cos loads of people are after them.

If you do want prices or anything for new ones (UK rather than import) I should be able to help you - I work with 4 VW dealerships

That sounds interesting... I would be after the car in the title.... met paint and ideally A/C...
Any chance you can get me a price? or get my number of the old man and give me a call when you free

Cheers!

Gopt a mate with one, the onlt car i've ever driven were you change up when overtaking!!
Loads of torqu, all really low down, apparently, the chipped ones lose this, the torque just moves up the rev range, they ar good for 190bhp though!!

I'll see what I can do - I'll try & speak to one of our sales guys tomorrow (I might even claim you're a relative to wangle some discount - not that it's worth much!)

Got a PD130 import from Trade Sales in Slough and saved about £3k - it's still worth what I paid for it 6 months down the line.
It's a great car (not really a driver's car, but does what it's supposed to do very well), and I'm sure the 150 is better still, I just didn't really need the extra power or insurance cost.

Who's chip is that?

I run an Ibiza TDi Sport with the PD130 engine and a Revo chip and it made 184 bhp @ 4,000 rpm and 307lb/ft @ 2,500rpm on the rollers on Sunday. The plots are here Plots (zipped pdf file)

Hi Neil

I haven't forgotten, but our sales people aren't the most reliable!! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

I will let you know as soon as I get the info from them
