I have a 2003 Golf GLS TDI (1.9L, 90HP, 4 Cyl) diesel with manual trans. The car manual states that the size of my fuel tank is 14.5 gallons (with 1.9 of the overall 14.5 being used for reserve). However, I have noticed that I put in much more than 14.5 gallons. On my last tank full, I drove it for 807 miles and was not on complete empty (close, nit noth yet there). I have filled up several times after the low fuel light has come on and found that I am putting anywhere from 15-16.4 gallons in the tank. I am not too familiar with VW's (first one) and don't know too much about cars in general, but I do want to ask - Can it be that my fuel tank is actually larger than the manual stat of 14.5 gal? Do they make Golf TDI's with anything other than a standard 14.5 gal tank? How would I tell how large my tank is? Just curious. if anyone can shed any light on this, please do.
