1992 golf driver 1.8 mk2
i have one of these with high mileage, 227k. still going well though,
starts every time, carb seems fine. probably coz its only had one long term owner and was looked after. i worked the mpg out a few times, and driving round town i only got 26mpg. a bit of both and i got 31mpg. being careful and driving a roads at 50/60 most of the time i got 34.5mpg. still not great though, as i remember an early 8v gti getting 40/41mpg quite easily. the car is clean and i'm sure would do plenty more miles but i am considering buying a lower mileage mk2 such as a gti which i can really look after and expect to keep long term.
