Reply With QuoteI am very happy with my '06 manual 2.0TDI. In fact I prefer driving it to our Tiguan manual TDI. Did you get any service history with the car?

With the cabriolet moving onto a new home, and a baby on the way in our home, its time to unveil my new daily hack:
Its an '05 build, 2.0, 6 speed man, Comfortline with 'bone' leather interior. Just a baby with 250,000km
It was bone stock when we picked it up apart from an aftermarket double din HU. Since then I have fitted some 17x7.5 ET43 MAK wheels that my folks had lying around with some new tyres and thats it.
Apart from that all I've done is give it a massive clean inside and start detailing the exterior, which is not high on my list of priorities really.
I have to say I'm a fan of the 2.0l, its a much more enjoyable engine than the 1.9 8V and seems still as economical.
Not much in the way of plans for it apart from keeping it tidy and 'touge'!

Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.

Awesome, great little beast, and no DPF!
Provent and inlet flush, at 250 she'd have a bit of the black cholesterol.
Oh and congrats on knocking up the missus, pretty impressive given your modest equipment

Yeah I havent opened up the inlet for a look yet, but it does look as though its had a new ASV in the last year, as its super shiny. It does have plenty of power though, so I dont think its as clogged as it could be. It certainly hasnt been a town car, so it should have stayed pretty clean being driven on boost most of the time.Awesome, great little beast, and no DPF!

Picked up some cheap GTI calipers/carriers on ebay
