Well things started to go pear shaped after I had a new thermostat at a cost of £480 which included a new rad etc.
Didn't even get home when the oil pressure light came on.
Got recovered to garage, suspected oil pump failure!!
Cost of repair was ridiculous !! I've already spent £1200 on this car in the last 6 months I just couldn't keep spending money like this so had to make a tough decision .
My ownership of a mk5 gti was short lived I traded it today for something a lot newer.
They are a great car but very expensive to mantain and have lots of issues maybe I just got a bad one ....?!
