Hi all,
As per my New Members thread i picked up my new GTI on Saturday 10 October.
It’s a 2005 plate in steel grey, standard spec all round and needs a bit of tidying here and there but managed to get a bit off it so quite pleased.
It’s done 87,000 miles but has had a new clutch and flywheel last year and cambelt and water pump beginning of this year so that’s the big things out of the way. Drives really well too. Garage I’m buying it from are fitting 4 new tyres, service, cleaning up the headlights (fogged up) and provide a 6 month warranty and 12 months mot too.
Wheels were in a sorry state so booked them in to be powdercoated last week. Now in shiny gloss black!
Fitted a new battery and a Pipercross filter on Saturday before i took her for a remap. Unfortunately the power figures were not where i wanted but have ordered a new DV (Revision G) to hopefully sort out the boost leak problem.
Bought some bits and bobs to renew the keys which were looking tired, some new VW badges, a genuine "Turbo" key case (the GTI ones are too expensive!!) and a nice VW keyring.
Also bought a steering wheel refurb kit which i started on yesterday. Works an absolute treat, managed to the gearknob and half the steering wheel but looks fantastic, will get some pictures up later.
Also gave her a good clean yesterday....anyhow, some pictures!!
Cheers for now!!
