Just got a 2001 Golf TDI 5M, car looks and drives like new (btw, the girl who sold me the car is from Germany and "Schumacher" is her last name, no relation)... car is silver with black cloth and hub-caps, pretty stock... perfect for modding
Luckly, for you, I'm already a VW driver and have contracted the "modding virus" a while ago, however, I'm unsure of how much of my knowledge apllies to Diesel engines. My other car is a '99 Passat Wagon, 1.8T 5M.
Test-driving the car in Manhattan was a blast, this thing is made for the city, I was sold in one block.
So here is my modest list of silly questions:
- Can I get an Up chip around New York without having to ship my ECU?
- Are mods like suspension, sway-bars, brakes, lighting interchangeable with regular Golfs, and to what extent?
- How many of you use sythetic oil, why and how often? Will regular oil hurt the engine?
- Any special advice for someone getting their first Diesel?
- Does anyone recommends a specific Diesel brand? Anything along the LIE, NY?
Not too bad, right?
It's a pleasure to be here, happy driving.
