Don't let ultimate economy rule over ultimate running costs. EG modern VAG diesels have fragile EGR valves, DPFs can be an issue on low mileage as well as high mileage cars, then there's DMFs and clutches, turbos etc - any will give you a bill of around £800 with very poor access around the engine bay hampering DIYing. All the above makes you current car look promising even with the £1000 of repairs needed for another 12 months motoring? For me I'd be looking for a 1.9 TDi pre DPF diesel as everything is cheap and simple to repair

KADVR6 was the owner? I think the plate sold separately from the car?

Someone will correct me if I’m wrong, back in the day people used to install the G60 engine in late MK2 8 Valve golfs with digifant engine managenment by just adding wires for the lambda sensors? If that’s the case the wiring diagrams will be easily available.

Check the earth connections to the rear lights (all 4), also check the bulbs are correct and inserted correctly

If you want a quick sale you need to MOT it. Auto Corrado buyers are few and far between. Don't mention in your adverts you bought it to make money / as an investment. GLWS

Worth mentioning saloon or estate

Someone was making new bushes for the arms, VW Rule?

I’ve watched the demo at both classic car show and resto show given by Leeds college and a few of the q and a sessions the instructor has remarked that powdercoat doesn’t chemically bond to metal, it surrounds and vacuums itself to it. Maybe someone can ask next weekend for clarification? VW paints wheels from the factory, not powdercoat. I’ve had wheels done by Chicago powdercoating in north Manchester and it’s been robust and long lasting

The LPV just reduces pressure to the rear, your issue is the front

To see if the hydraulics are holding the brakes on undo the nipples on each caliper in turn, if it spurts and the brake releases you have an hydraulic issue

When cold and the engine is slow to start, how fast does the engine crank? I presume the oil has been changed for the correct type? Its been known for the oil pressure relief valve to jam providing too high a pressure to the tappets preventing the valves from closing completely, losing compression. This is worse when the engine is cold because the oil is thicker and the pressure higher.

Id run it for a few 1000 miles first to soften the lacquer deposits left behind from the stale fuel, 12 years is a long time being sat around and I think you’ll find the engine will respond well to being used enthusiastically and begin to run much better for it
