Terrible MPG and crunchy gears!
Also, i've searched around and it seems people are having a similar problem. After driving around for about 30 mins, it becomes nearly impossible to select gears! Im under the impression that the gear linkage bushes need replacing? Furthermore, once this problem reaches critical level (cant select anything) if put it in reverse with the clutch down the car will creep backwards..
Any advise would be great, I hate not being able to enjoy her

2. Sounds like clutch dragging - adjust clutch cable

No it isn't! it's worse than that. Golfs have a 10 gallon (45.4 litre) tank - 16mpg.
