Anyone heard anything about the new Golf? In particular the GT TDi.

You can buy them here now (in Europe) I've seen loads on the road here. They are badged 2.0ltr over here so must be a new engine. Judging by the way I trashed one in an old MK2 Gti at the traffic light GP I presume they must be a lot slower than the old pd150 gti's

A mate has one on order now. It is indeed a 2ltr but is down in power to 140bhp but apparently the power delivery is a lot smoother.
Any other questions you have I will speak to him and find out the answers

Thumbs down

Down from what? This is the mid tune engine so compare it with the old TDi PD130. There will be a higher power version a few months down the line. I've heard rumblings of a 160/170hp version.

140PS diesel engine is going to be joined by a higher power version in the summer/autumn - I heard 180PS...?

There's info on the new golf on the VW UK site...
