None the less, I think of having a third gear as 'one of life's little pleasures'. I've got one and wouldn't be without it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 clearly you have never been without third gear for a period of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Penguin Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 3rd gear is the best gear on the TDi 's arsenal and whilst the GTi has less torque I'd expect it to be the same for that unit too, the one you use most for overtaking and its the one who's syncros break, [£500 rebuild] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 syncros are cheap. do it right, change the bearings in the end caps and shop around you can get it done 250. it's the damage to third with the crunchy attempts you should worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
