Newly purchased Mk5
« on: July 22, 2012, 02:53:09 pm »
Hi All,

New to the forum - just bought myself a rather nice example of the GTi. It's pretty standard all round but in cracking condition, 57 plate, 32K miles, FVWSH, immaculate inside and out.  Dealer missed that it had a Revo stage 1 remap so that was a nice surprise when i saw the paperwork! Next step is to get the RCD510 but a little bit confused by compatibility and whether i'll need to update the CAN bus etc. Will have to do some more research!

Sorry for the dealer pic - I'm working in Thailand right now but returning home (Aberdeen, Scotland) in 5 weeks - itching to get home and give the new toy a blast.  My Dad's been handling the sale so had it confirmed that it was as good as it looked online!

MC71 - It's off the road just now for that exact reason - don't want my Dad racking up the miles before I get my hands on it!!
