Hi,
Well I think I'm going to start planning for a Leon Tdi purchase for sometime in the new year, so was hoping to do some research into what I should be looking at so that I can set up the correct saving plan!
I currently have a golf PD130, which is brilliant, but it's time for a change I think. I currently do about 25k per year commuting to work which is predominantly all motorway.
Having read through what I have so far on the forums, I know I want a diesel due to number of miles and it has to be the 2.0tdi, but I am not sure about the 140 or the 170 engine. From my understanding the 140 is easier to remap but the 170 isn't as simple? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I could do with the extra bit of power without compromising too much on economy.
I'm hoping to find one for around the £5k region with under a 100k mileage, maybe an 06 plate or something. If this is my budget, what do you recommend going for?
140bhp will tend to get lower mileage engine
170bhp will be at the higher end.
170 fr has a nicer interior, but then if settle for the sport interior.
I haven't been in a 170bhp Leon yet, so I'm assuming it's only a little better than the 140 or am I completely wrong?
What should I be looking out for when considering the 2 engines? After something with low maintenance.
