I'm not sure why you're attacking me when I clearly prefaced my results with my assumptions. Where are yours - all you say is "I'm reasonably sure" yet happy to have a dig at me for giving exact...

1. If one was to consider every driving pattern out there then it would never happen. You have to have a baseline otherwise any analysis is simply redundant. Always best to use official figures ;)

I'm always interested in this fuel economy debate as we all love to save $$ so we can spend elsewhere.

So lets assume each vehicle (GTD & GTI) does 20 000km per year.

I'll base calcs on VW's...

C'mon guys we're all here because we love our Golfs - regardless of how many doors. Can't we just agree to disagree please and get back to modding, tweaking, and havin fun? :)

Hey Clip - can you tell us what brand you have and where you got it? Sounds like a beauty :) (also can we beg for a pic to see how it looks in your dash? Cheers!)

Really? Bugger I believed those pills would give me an extra 7 inches too :(

OK have done 4000K on my baby now - and I LOVE the economy. Whoever reckons or says it's imaginary are on something :D

My previous car - 2005 Magna VRX. 1 tank of fuel per week.
This baby - same...

Have been thinking about the so-called sludge issue.

I guess I have 2 schools of thought - obviously the first immediate one was don't let a tank get below half (which at best is impratical esp....

No squealing here just yet :)

Cheers Walker.

Some interesting info there - though the "breaking in" info contradicts VW's own manual. So who to believe? there are 2 definite schools of thought here - one is take first 1500k...

The other point I forgot to make is - NIL rattles!!!! :D :D :D

I got the airbags :P the other stuff is just Jap gimmicks! :P :D

Have to disagree with you there :) I now have a Euro car for the fraction of the price :) try buying an Audi / Merc / BMW etc with same features at same cost.

Just my uninformed 0.02c worth inc....

Factory reset is in the extras option. :)

Cheers mate :D

As do I! The first 1000K was from Adelaide to Coober Pedy anyway so not really much of an opportunity to do anything (SA cops!!)

However the next 2000K saw it get a great workout!!

Hey Buller-Scott,

The VW Service Manual that comes with your car only talks about a 1500km 'running-in' and after that go for it.

I'll scan it and put it up here....

hey Timbo :)

Thanks. Yeah Walter said that there was a flash avail just that he didn't have it when I was there as Revo hadn't updated the database. Unfortunately I had to leave to drive back as...

lol well I didn't want to be 'roused upon for going too fast ;)

But I sat on roughly 140km/h for hours and hours and it lappe dit up with PLENTY to spare.

Got up to 190km/h at one stage...

Hi all,

Well finally my baby arrived at Solitaire Autos in Adelaide. Sadly REVO flash not done as no REVO file for my model (latest file is a 2008 one and REVO had a 2006 one :( )

What a car!!!...

$900 for some maps?????? Thats outrageous. I understand though that the RNS can take a flash memory card - so there must be another way to upload maps etc.

Which raises a good question though - can you update the maps & how?
