Black Pearl MK4 .:R32 *update*
« on: March 03, 2013, 08:06:12 pm »
So, finally got my hands on a R32.  
53 plate 3 door. 48k miles, FSH. I'm the 4th owner.
Half leather, sat nav. Already has a non res Milltek including sports cats, Carbonio intake and running Revo stage 2 software.
Loving it so far. I didn't have the radio on once during the 430 miles drive home!
Couple of pics the previous owner sent:


Quick fuel stop on the way home:

Once home I moved the front badge to the correct side, put on my Porsche oil and coolant caps, also black screen wash cap.



Gave her a good wash, polish and seal. Never took enough pics though, here's a couple:



I've bought a set of US tails, R36 coil covers and black VW emblems. Tomorrow she's into the garage for 2 new tyres first tho. Hopefully get my own plate own before long too.
Cheers for looking
Scott

That is sweet, looks a VERY clean example.  Grab a smaller aerial. :happy2:
Does it have too much coolant in?

Thanks. I did chuck on a stubby aerial but the reception was terrible. Ordered a OEM Sharan one see if that fares any better.
The coolant was on the high side. I syringed out the excess tho.

Really like the MK4 R32. Looking foward to it being on coils & the paintwork looks spot on. Nice one chap. Dont blame you for not listening to the radio  :grin:

I stand corrected... I had a 02 mk4 150 gti diesel that had xenons and in them days that was a very expensive option.
