another tdi joined

Hi! Joined EcoModders tonight; my partner just told me about you. My car is a white TDI Golf '05. Its candy is the biodiesel it runs on....
Have been ecodriving for the mpg's; hope to learn some simple mods for the mileage too.
Thanks!
Kristina

Are TDI's becoming the new VX?

Welcome! I don't suppose you've met Stan yet... He's done a few things to his '02 Golf TDI, which he touches on briefly at the bottom of post#6 in this thread: http://forum.ecomodder.com/showthread.php?t=617

Hi! Thanks
Funny you mention that - I drove a Honda VX for 13years before buying the TDI. On 'easy' trips it could get 60+mpg's!
Between the two I'd rather drive this one - B100 is the way to go.
Have been studying the car's wheels to make the pizzapan wheels....
Can't say my car'll get Stan's #6 - I kinda like its current look.... well, till ....
Happy Weekend!
Kristina

Just the coolest Diesel Engine technology ever...

"Turbocharged Direct Injection"

TDI Defined

The Audi R10 revolutionized racing as we know it.
