skinnyman9000 0 Posted January 16, 2008 Mines cost me the best part of £2k in the past 18 months, and appearance wise looks worse than when i bought it. Fun times Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonicriot13 0 Posted January 16, 2008 I'm starting to think the mk5 GTI might be a better idea after all.... Is it going to be any more expensive? Really? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone saying they have had the car running (in a garage or sat idly) is a lot different than driving it around for an hour under load. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grimmy 0 Posted January 16, 2008 Its not unusual in my experience. I've had two vr6's and spent several thousand pounds on each. My boss may aswell just pay my wages straight to the garage. This however certainly doesn't mean i'd even consider selling up for another car. I just tell myself that spending this money now means plain sailing later. Surely...

Traverse 0 Posted January 17, 2008 I've owned my G60 since July 7th. I payed $2800 for it. Since then I've easily dumped at least $1500 into it. There's just something about this car that always makes me hang onto it, even after all the money and times I've said I'm giving up on it. :thumbleft: :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlgarveVR6 0 Posted January 17, 2008 I must sympathise with your spending plight. My VR6 has cost me best part of 4k so far, most of which was on engine rebuild. My 2l 16v has beeen good, only spent what I have to on it, oil filters, suspension etc. I would not change either of them, unless I can find a good VR6 sharan and loose the 16v. Oh I love my loud pedal............ Stick with it. Probably someting really silly that'll get fixed in a jiffy. I hope so. Good luck Dic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted January 17, 2008 has it been overfilled with oil? A golf I had ran fine until the oil pressure climbed due to me dropping a gear to overtake. All of a sudden, instant Nimbus maker :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
