BarryC 10 Posted April 10, 2012 Yep a TDI corrado using the passat engine remapped loads of torque excellent mpg the looks of a corrado ticks all the boxes for me lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jamiehamy 0 Posted April 10, 2012 Welcome Barry. I never miss a chance to plug LPG...lol. I've been running my VR6 for a year and a half. Currently 74p a litre ( was 67p until recently), all the benefits you described for the TDi but with a gorgeous v6 sound instead of a drone from down under. Biggest downside is the range (220miles for full tank @£30) and that I can't get on the Channel Tunnel trains with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Purple Tom 0 Posted April 10, 2012 Welcome to the forum. I'm just about the starting building another TDi with the specific intention of selling it afterwards (I need something to do lol!). Will be almost the same spec as the one in my signature but with a few little refinements. If you're interested in buying a running TDi then drop me a PM. Cheers Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
