Hi, just took the plunge to change to a gti from a gt tdi 4 motion golf, here they are below
The car had quite a few things wrong with it when i viewed it but managed to get it at a good price so have used the money i saved to get it back to its former glory, When i went out for a test drive you could hear the brakes scuffing and the suspension knocked on every bump, it had a few little dints and a few small scuffs, an odd interior light not working, brake warning light and air bag light on,engine cover broke and rocker cover had a putty round the oil cap stem met the main plastic,ariel taped up and it stank of smoke (i know most of you are thinking why the hell did you buy that
)
got it home late wednesday night and the fun begin early thursday morning.i put new front mintex pads and dicsc, fixed the brake pad wiring, 2 new front drop links, order a new cv gator and had 2 new continetals on the front as it did have bct s800 tyres and the reviews were cheap chinese crap,
today i put in different headlight bulbs,led rear number plate bulbs, a good clean in and out and me and the girlfriend washed and hoovered the interior, we read up about how to get rid of the smoke smell and so far we have tried, washing and hoovering interior, removed the cabin filter, putting coffee granules in the car and a new air freshner, it has helped but going to take a few more days til i'l be happy.
next on the list is new pollen filter, get the car scanned on vcds for the airbag fault, have order an ariel and engine cover from members on here
This how the car stands now
