Anyone know the car? Seems good history on the face of it. Not sure about the new cam belt though or the cheap looking tyres

Looks awesome

Any pictures?

Due to the Tapatalk issue I can’t add pics to show the wheels, but there’s a pic on my Instagram blissya

Hi, is this still available? Cheers

Not at that price, the space would be handy but I still quite enjoy taking for the odd trip out. Since above advert, I’ve had the rear bump stops replaced, the windows/locking fault sorted and the alloys refurbished in BMW sepang bronze. I’d be looking for over £3500 or £3250 with a set of corroded wheels with winter tyres on, otherwise I’ll just hang on to it

I get the same, been like it for a few days. No problem using Tapatalk for golf mk2 forum though, just this one

Going to keep rather than sell at a loss. Happy motoring for years to come or bang and then spares n repairs..... or a heart transplant by Vince

Great thread!

I've got BBS RX228s in that exact fitment. I'm lowered about 30mm on the Bilsteins but had coilies down about 40mm previously and had absolutely no issues with rubbing.

Thanks

I’m torn with getting some speedlines and getting them refurbished in a slightly darker silver metallic, or buying some new 17’s.

The ones in question are 17 x 7.5 5x100 ET35. Presuming fit 205/40/17 tyres?

Main thing is I don’t want any arch mods. So if the larger wheels might rub I’ll stick to the good old originals.

Forgot the important info! £2850

142300 miles

Service book full of stamps

Receipt for recent service

Many other receipts going back years

4 other owners

Cobra immobiliser cat 2

Two new tyres

Two wheel bearings

New lambda sensor

MOT to February 2019

Deep front spoiler

DAB kenwood radio

Rear spoiler works fine

No rips on interior, padding going a bit on drivers bolster

The not so good:

Electric fault with windows and central locking

I’ve never tried the sunroof, last owner said tilts but not slide

Laqueur peel on n/s rear quarter

Small dents on leading edge of front wings

10p size rust patch on rear under window

Scrapes on bumpers

Polishes up ok but paint wouldn’t win any prizes

Front brake occasionally squeaks but still stop well

Recent service recommended that rear bump stops will soon need replacing and there’s some oil leak from cam cover

All wheels are corroded and need a refurb

No record of timing chains being done yet

Would suit someone more hands on than I am.

Based on Stratford Upon Avon.

Thanks

Thanks. Think it’s all beyond my abilities, will see if I can get a quote from an auto electrician, or just sell it as is!

The only time my mk2 gti broke down was after I’d changed the ignition leads causing one to catch fire and burn the end of the coil off!

Since the temporary fix a while back, the central locking and windows no longer work and the fuse blows instantly.

I’ve disconnected the window switches and they’re getting power (poked one of those probe things in that buzzes). Still won’t take a new fuse with those left off.

Had a ball ache removing the rear trim to find the module thing. How would I test if that works? All wires seem secure.

I’m not good at this stuff! Any pointers?

They are big money. Look at this one, and the mileage https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172723614717

Not a job I'm looking forward to!

Hi,

 

My outside windscreen trim also needs replacing - I assume you can replace it without removing the windscreen?

 

Can anyone advise how this is fitted - is it just a push fit or do you need to use a glue or sealant to hold it in place?

 

I've (tried to) attached some pics to demonstrate the need!

 

Cheers

 

Phil

Mines got exactly the same issue!

And fiddly it is to get to! Just had to change mine as window stuck down and central locking stopped as well. Will keep a spare in the car now!

Someone got a great deal

Same as any other car really, not great tbh. Possible stem seals or piston rings/bore wear.

 

More likely stem seals though. Is it more noticeable when cold, revving, or coming off throttle?

There was no real pattern as to when it happened. Was up to temp, revving or putting foot down doesn't seem to make it happen. First time it did it was going slow

So... the occasional bit of blue ish smoke much to worry about?
