OK, so they're not lasers, but considering I (finally) collected the long awaited replacement for my troublesome 2.0FSI Avant in the dark last night, isn't that interior lighting pack nice!!
Seriously though, I'm now the proud owner of am '02 1.9TDI Sport (130) Avant - and in the 50 miles I've driven so far, it seems like twice the car my FSI was, and far smoother. We're officially in the honeymoon period, and with the problems I had previously, I'll give it a few weeks of normal use before I get too excited.
Dealer was true to their word, and I can't fault them really it just took too long to sort out. Drove in '03 FSI SE, drove out '02 TDI Sport. No cash changed hands, and the new one was taxed, had £20 of diesel in it, the private plate was transferred and it had a new 1yr 'Approved' warranty. That little deal should have cost me over £2k
Anyway, any driving tips for me? I've never had a diesel (or any car with a turbo) and it sure is different (duh). You really had to work the FSI to make it go, but there's now a huge lump of torque at lower revs under my right foot. I'm guessing I should get in the habit of changing up sooner now...
Any tips and advice welcomed!!
