New Golf 1.6 TDI 7speed DSG Diesel

[neil]

Just noticed in the latest VW mag in the Volkswagen showroom liftout
a new Golf Diesel 1.6litres with option of 7 speed DSG.
Could not find anything on their website but searching the web brings up
a similar motor for the polo which they claim a fuel figure of 3.8L/100km

If I can get my Jetta down to 3.9l/100km Newcastle/Sydney fwy from a factory
standard consumption figure of 5.8l/100 ,I would love to see how much better
than 3.8L/100km it would be possible to achieve with this new diesel.
From the brochure it will be available with the MY10 model.

That's great news! That was a hole in the Golf line-up until now.

They're already available in the UK.

5-speed manual:

The manual appears to be a lot better on the open road.
