Probably a good thing, the GTD's blow head gaskets constantly, then the head warps and off to the recyclers it goes.

Lol, certianly I would never describe the old un-blown Golfs as going like the clappers!

A word of advice, once the clutch starts to fail (and at that mileage its about due), weigh it in!

Yes I understand, but mines a 1994 so don't think it's got a DMF, the later higher output TDIs had them see above link :)
