    Just found this on autotrader:

    MK5 2.0 TDI 4 Motion. Has anyone got any information about this particular model, as I didn't know that VW produced any MK5 diesels with 4 motion ?

    I`ve never heard of a Mk5 4-Mo either... [:s]

    EDIT:

    A quick Google and a look at VWUK seems to show it as only on the 2.0 diesel models.

    Dare I say, `rare`... :lol:

    Just found an old vw price boolet from 2007 listing the 2.0 TDI 'Sport' 5 door with 4-motion.
    The above car is the 'Sport' model, which was lower spec than the 'GT' model, prior to VW combining both trim levels into a 'GT Sport' model. :thumbup:

    yep the 2L GTTDI did come with 4-Motion, rare as not very high on the sales list for some reason!

    MPG down for obverse reasons, boot space little less. just that bit slower to drive.
    TBH never hammered one in th dry/wet as never will in other peoples cars. usual 4 motion feel

    version with a DGS a odd combo, sounds great on paper but don't think i could live with one

    I saw a 3 door grey GT TDI and saw under the badge '4-motion'. Now it was being driven by an old female with a number plate reading 'Missy' but it must have been one unless someone was that sad to slap a 4-motion badge to what looked like the ordinary gt tdi.

    EDIT: Checked the reg on DVLA and the Co2 rating on the plate is just over 160g compared to the 140'ish of the 2wd version so they do come in 3 door :) Rare spot then indeed :lol:

    I have a GT TDI 4motion on an 05 plate and it's been in our family since new. They only made them for about 18 months, mine being one from the start of production and the youngest I've seen being on a 56 plate. They also made a petrol 2.0 GT 4motion at the same time. Mine is a 5 door with a partial Caractere body kit that I got from VW and it's a cracking car!

    Very rare... I've only seen 1 in public and 1 at a VW show!

    I have inherited a 55 plate 3d one of these with original monza wheels and it is remapped, wheel spins in 3rd! Very quick.
    Going to refurb and garage it. Beautiful fun car
