Evening guys and girls,
Picked up my GTI last week, enjoying it so far and has been a big step up from my Astra G 1.9cdti 150, only downside is the big decrease in MPG....but who buys a hot hatch for fuel economy?
The car has full service history and according to the paperwork, had its cambelt and waterpump done at 51k, however after contacting the garage that apparently carried out the work, they have no record of this taking place, and only a minor service was done. Not sure what to do now really, have had some quotes for cambelt and waterpump replacement (around £350), but am a bit pee'd off as ive been sold the car on fault pretenses! To risk it or not.... book states like 100k for cambelt replacement but ive heard otherwise.
Already cleaned all the leathers up and they've come up a treat, have replaced wheel center caps and spent a day cleaning everything up to my OCD standards. However with a black car, it does have the inevitable swirl marks here and there, can you guys recommend any polishes or compounds that have worked well on black golf paint?
Also, as a new owner who now doesn't fully trust the cars history, is there anything major that I should check or look out for?
Cheers guys,
Rich :)
