Around £250 but go to a vw dealer and let them rip you off of £350 or use a competent garage.

60 litres. 13.2 Imperial gallons or 15.85 US gallons. The next year's model has a 70 litre tank.

replace your fuel filter first. If that does not do it, then try an air-flow meter. (if the check engine light is on it may be an airflow meter.

change anti roll bar bushes.Allso check coil springs are not brocken.
