“Pure driving pleasure ”
Written on: 03/07/2012 by Victorias (1 review written)
Since buying this car I have actually enjoyed driving (well almost :)) I have yet to have one single issue with it and it drives like a dream. Petrol is a bit expensive but that seems to be the only costly effort of the car. Other than that I highly recommend this gorgeous piece of machinery! (read more)

“Too good to be true”
Written on: 20/02/2012 by CraftyBristolian
Bought this car from my then employer (Lloyds Bank). Ex-company car - well looked after and only 28k on clock. Despite colour description in logbook (beige!!) everyone agrees it's a light gold metallic. Car drives like a dream. It's the 130bhp model and the it's also my first diesel. Build quality cannot be faulted - the dash is as good as a BMW. Seats comfortable and vision excellent. Climate control keeps temperature steady. Road noise can intrude on some surfaces however.

I have owned my golf GT TDi 130 for almost a year now and have to say that despite having to replace some consumable items i am equally as delighted with the car as the first time i drove it! the performance is incredible for a diesel! and even with the boot hard in it will still return 45+ MPG and pin your head to the headrest through every gear! and if you drive it with your slippers on it gives 66.5 mpg in 6th gear at 65mph!

I'm pretty sure that i am echoing what other people have written about the GOLF GTtdi 130 however here goes.
Amazing power to MPG ratio... How can a car be this quick and still do 40-50 mpg? Its a fun car to drive i can honestly say i enjoy driving again ( i used to love going for drives when i was 18... Always starts without any difficulty.
It must be hard wearing as its done 105k and still feels amd looks like new. Even the interior is not showing signs of wear that most cars do at 100k...

I bought this car fron new, and over 9 years later it is still going strong. 88,000 miles, original clutch, original exhaust and original catalytic converter. Only money i have spent has been on normal wear tear and annual serviceing.It is quick, reliable and very reasonable to run and to maintain, a great car that i would recommend without hesitation. The only minus for me, is the quality of the headlight alignment which for me is set too low, giving poor vision in nightime driving. Having... (read more)

An incredibly reliable car. Now with 135k miles and only minor parts needed replacement eg window winder and front shocks, all major parts are still original. Brilliant combination of economy and power (perhaps 130 BHP is a bit more than is needed)
The car still feels solid and no rattles, the interior (with leather seats) is still like new.
I would highly recommend the Golf

Written on: 27/07/2010
This is a sensible purchase as it blends decent performance with great economy. I have had my PD130 re-mapped to about 165bhp. This gives me great flexibility - 50+mpg still achievable yet brilliant midrange power for overtaking if needed. The downside is the cars handling, suspension and weight - it's far too sloppy. Definitely a cruiser, perfect for the motorway but don't buy for genuine thrills. Check suspension and clutch before purchase. (read more)

“I've had my V W Golf tdi 130 for a year now. ”
Written on: 09/06/2010
I've had my V W Golf tdi 130 for a year now.
The performance is excellent. I am however still a bit puzzled by the interior build quality. I know Volkswagen have a reputation for quality but I really have to question the interior. Full of rattles and knocks, cheap black plastic glovebox for example. The interior lets it down and stops me giving the car 5 stars.
I would be 50/50 buying it with what I know now but performance is superb.

My Volkswagen Golf Mk4 Tdi 110ps imported and owned since Mar.'99 has now 81k. Both front windows have had plastic lifters replaced by metal but apart from that has been an economical reliable car.
Disappointingly it has recently developed intermittantly a drop in power usually when driving uphill or accelerating, and first gear is sometimes difficult to engage by going into third instead. While in Germany had engine checked by a VW dealer, but their scanner came up with 'kein fehler' (no...

I've owned my Volkswagen Golf GT TDI 130bhp Golf for around 6 months now having owned a 270bhp Impreza before it. It's unfair to compare the 2 cars as dynamically the Impreza is far superior...However, the mix of performance, fuel economy and price is astounding on the Golf TDI 130 and 150 models. As others have said, the torque is great on these cars although don't forget that they also have a 'conservative' 130bhp to back up the torque too. In fact, midrange acceleration doesn't feel far...

The most mpg I have had was 70mpg! Hard to believe! The traction control works a treat and the car handles really well and stops very well. (read more)

I have owned 2 Golf mk4's; both bought from Stafford Volkswagen. The first I picked up was 6 months old, and I had a few minor problems with it like any car. All problems were dealt with politely and quickly. The second I bought for the misses. 8 months after I bought it the oil lift pump packed in, causing massive damage to the engine. They dealt with the problem very quickly and professionally, and replaced the engine under warranty. I am very happy with the service I have received from Stafford VW. I have just recommended them to my brother in law, and he has just purchased a 53 plate Golf mk 4 which I know he is very happy with. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any of my friends.

Just bought the gttdi last week year 02 ..supposd being serviced, only removed the air filter, was like all spring leaves been hide there and filter was out of use. To get more mileage, things you can do by yourelf with some simple diy, no need to be a mechanic, change your air and fuel filter once every 3 months put a small sip of engine cleaner when you fill up the tank...good luck

I've had a similar problem to you with regards to the hole that has burnt into the drivers side heated seat. The element can now be seen glowing bright orange and smoking through the hole. Did you have anything metallic touch the seat for a prolonged period that might have caused it? My 2003 Volkswagen Passat is out of warranty for quite a few months, so wondering whether to take it back to the main dealer for a diagnostics check, or whether this is a known problem...Have seen other people complain of similar problems with their VW's.

A car that averages 55 mpg yet still out accelerates most 2 litre petrol engined cars is not only cheap to run but great fun to drive too.

I've had my Golf for 4 months now and I'm extremely happy with it. The fuel economy is good and the power is excellent. I've got a Subaru Impreza Turbo 260bhp to compare it too and find the Golf isn't that far behind for fun!
I've really only got one negative and that's the seat comfort. It could really do with adjustable lumbar supports,which it hasn't got. But apart from that it's great !

I have had my Volkswagen Golf 1.9 TDi now for 3 months. It was bought as a secondhand car, and with 130bhp, it goes pretty well. Long drivers are a pleasure. After reading a few reviews I am considering lower suspension and bigger wheels, which may make the ride better on countryside roads.
Does anyone have any comments or advice on re-mapping the ECU to get more BHP out of this beast, and are there any side effects of that?

It's the incompetent dealers I HATE with passion now.
My 2001 6 speed PD115 was chipped @44k miles, to 150bhp/295torque,
Now I'm on 79k miles & engine is still mint.
I can't stress how important this was, because the engine block is bombproof, but with VW's standard ECU program, it had 2 annoying flatspots, which make it feel like you're pumping the accelerator!

Had my Volkswagen Golf 1.9 GT TDi 130 (Mk4) family car for just over 2 years with 25k miles. been back to the garage for a loss of power 4 times and its still not fixed. Had new boost valve and complete new turbo unit but it still occasionally drops power down to about 30-40 bhp usually when pulling hard like when overtaking a lorry or climbing a steep hill (great fun!) I think its got to be the ECU because the fault is cleared simply by turning the ignition off and restarting the engine. (read more)
