ed30 ?

[vangoo]

Hi guys looking for some opinions

Thinking of going to look at a silver 07 ed30 dsg at a local garage

it seems a good price £12988 the only thing is the milage 54500

the miles is the only thing putting me off in 1 year it will be 64000 miles

When dose the golf need a timing belt? and will the dsg still be good at this milage

Cheers Gary

dont worry about milage  its a car they are for driving  and belts 100k or something silly on the ed30  but it says it in the service book and i do 20k a year in my ed30 and they should do over 500k miles if looked after

Check the service book,timing belt at 40,0000 along with DSG oil change at same time.

I have just noticed on 1 of the pics the drivers seat bolster is a bit worn
how easy is that fixed and at what cost?

The Edition 30 has part leather seats and the bolsters are leather. Unfortunately, VW kept the best leather for Audi and crappy "leather" for VW. Hence well known problem with bolsters.

who told you that 40k for belts think your wrong on that one as it clearly states it the service book 100k or something daft

I thought timing belt was 60k - where's T_T when you need him

Timing belt 40k or 4 years as far as I know, I've seen the service book say 100k but apparantly its wrong.

The regime has changed as stated above. Best get yourself a new belt pronto if you want to make it easily to 500,000.

So would the milage put you guys off yes or no

and does 12988 sound about right?

[coolhandluke]

Any extras,SatNav etc?

Matt you can be our crash test dummy so to speak,ignore this 40,000 miles or 4 years and keep us posted.

Whats the standerd spec on a ed 30

Any extras,SatNav etc?

Only seen it in some pics   dsg,rear sensors

 Thats about all i can see from the pics

Whats the standerd spc on ed30

[MAT ED30]

so when vw did my 40k service did they say its something silly like 100k for the belts  

[MAT ED30]

infact i was only at vw a few weeks ago and asked them about and they same 100k  not bothered as i am having mine changed in a few weeks anyway as i think it needs doing due to the mods on the car but just dont get how the book can be wrong. I think vw need to tell people the book is wrong
