20 Years powered by RBS
« on: May 10, 2022, 12:22:22 am »
As mentioned in my Edition 30 topic, I bought a sweet “20 Years” mk3 GTI 16V❤️
I’ll go on from here when I got back from Madrid to Antwerp… a 1600 km trip… and without any hiccups :happy2:👍🏻👍🏻
Put it on the Quickjacks and give it a good inspection 🙈

Next up were some new Hankook tires and an alignment, the old Pirelli’s were at their end…

Oh and it took an other + / - 1600 km under its belt👊🏻❤️👍🏻 Without any drop of oil burnt😍❤️ The only thing I saw, was that is “sweating” a bit on the oil drain plug… but hey it’s 26 years old and it covered half of Europe in one week❤️😍👍🏻
From 89.400 km to 93.000 km👍🏻

So rare to see a mk3 that clean and rust free. Enjoy it mate. I'm also dead jealous of your workshop space.

Wow - That's like a 1 year old UK car - still has engine undertray, really helps keep the engine bay clean and helps warm up a lot on the ABF.
Only spotted the front fogs in the bumper look odd to me - usually they are full silver

very nice..... i had an 8v mk3 in silver too.... looks lovely.
have a really bad itch for another vr6, which I had that after the 8v......... but sadly that will have to wait as house and bigger family take priority

look forward to the updates.

@ashan82:
I know the feeling :happy2: I was on the look out for a 16V and a VR6
These days it’s NOT so easy to find a good taken care example!! But they are out there :wink: Some owners are asking silly money for nice taken care examples…
I was searching for 2 years😅 and there were 2 which slipped trough my fingers😫
One VR and one 16V… the sound of the VR6 is  :love: :love:
I also know what you’re talking about… family, house, work… been there too my friend😘😅

Holy smokes that’s clean!
It’s fairly low mileage (kilometerage?) but it’s still been used which I always think is a bonus.

I bet VW’s own museum car isn’t that clean. Great find!
