How does this differ from the main Golf entry?
This covers the seventh generation specifically. Our history records the model under several designations, so it is worth checking both entries.
Why is there so little maintenance work on this generation?
Being newer, these cars have accumulated fewer of the exhaust system issues that affect older diesels. The interest here is almost entirely performance.
Which engine gains most?
The 2.0 TSI petrol turbo shows the largest outright gains, while the 2.0 TDI excels at usable everyday torque.
