The somewhat breathless 1.6 Golf to be replaced by 1.4, Turbo - more power, more torque, more MPG - less emissions and all for £200 more..........

Seems to be a lot for not a lot more so where is the catch?

A new engine every 50K like the 100PS 1.4s run on 95 octane?


The FSi didn't last long - it's warranty claims will make sure VW never forget it....

They must have had an inkling when it's designated engine code was BAD.....

Well my ZR has a 1.4 twin cam engine which produces just over 100 bhp, it can do high miles if looked after properly.
