Well, done it, found a caddy that ticked nearly all the boxes
It is a 2014 C20 1.6 TDI (102PS) DSG Highline
Glad I held out to find a DSG, drives lovely. A very different beast from my Golf DSG, gears will take some getting used.
Have a good list of bits and pieces I would like to do, but as a work vehicle primarily, all will be very subdued!
First thing will be to put some steel 16" wheels I've obtained on, I strangely prefer them than big alloys. Next up will be rip out the installed RNS315, get a RNS510 with DAB installed.
Plenty of questions to ask, but I'll wait till i've got the vehicle in my hands first
Finally done it

Re: Finally done it
The Caddy DSG is lower geared than the Golf - it is a bit strange until you get used (doesn't help economy either ), I did think about changing the final ratio, but it looked like alot of work for a few mpg, especially when the van is under warranty.
Sure you'll enjoy the new motor.

Re: Finally done it
That's for sure, I was surprised how long it took to get going, once on the move it was very responsive and seemed quite punchy. Might look at a remap but will seek advice first and I think the brakes will definitely need improving if there is any increase in power. They certainly were not as sharp as the golf.phanson wrote:The Caddy DSG is lower geared than the Golf - it is a bit strange until you get used (doesn't help economy either ), I did think about changing the final ratio, but it looked like alot of work for a few mpg, especially when the van is under warrantyr.

The van is coming from Basingstoke as locally I could never find the right spec for me!
Dealer is doing a couple of bits pre pickup, multi function leather steering wheel, door sill covers and rear bumper cover. They say it will be ready next Monday!!!
