Yea its 514 for the year.

It's just the regular 1.6 rate. Some of them on CO2 are 750 Euro p.a

Lovely spec MK5 Golf albeit 1.4 but I'd drive it...

End of the road for the 1.4 at that mileage.

I had a 04 one. Put up 240k miles (400,000kms) before I had to scrap it. Engine was still going. It was other repairs that made it not worth fixing.

How much oil were you putting into it? I doubt it had a test either as they're impossible to get through the emissions once they go over the 200k mark.

That could be your experience of a single 1.4

All Golf 1.4's before 2009 with minimum 200,000 kms and with valid NCT

[EDIT]The reason I believe different also, is a friend of mine bought one brand new in 2004 and it's still in the same family and has done 420,000 kms at this stage and never had an issue with NCT apart from cv boots, shocks etc, but it has been well looked after and regularly serviced from day one[/EDIT]

Thats the same guy that also has the 07 sportback that you posted last week
He must have an A3 collection

Those 1.4's are very fickle.

You do see a multitude of ****ters that burn oil and run like a dog. They are very fragile that way.

On the other hand anything with a service history that has had its oil services on time seem to go on and on. Have seen a few over 300k kms.

That Golf looks like a dog IMO, if it didnt have the cream leather you wouldnt look twice at it.

Work colleague has an Octavia with that engine, he bought it when it was 2 years old (06 car bought in 08), minded this fcuker like a babby, at 220,000km it's burning oil like a good 'un. I know at least 3 golfs with the same carry on every one of them ended up with the scrap man (except the Octy he's still minding her like the golden child)

Burning a sup of oil isn't the end of the world either. I dont say that in defence of the 1.4 either, they aren't a great engine regardless.

When it makes it impossible to pass the test it's a disaster.

Somebody please buy this.

I got my second one a few months back here from a link and it's the best car I have ever owned.

This looks to be the 150hp model, so a quick tune will bring it to 210hp ( yes those engines were seriously detuned)

flexcon :- what does the quick tune entail?

It's just an ECU map. A few guys in Ireland, and the UK can do it.

I spent £110 to take my aero up from 210 to 250 (baring in mind on paper its at that level - no dyno yet to prove it)

Nordic tuning, or noobtune would be well known ones for years. You mail off the ECU to them and its sent back.

Perfect for the initial d fans
