just a note the ABS is not a recall .i only make this point again becaue i had a problem with mine ,it broke at 3 years 4 months and 24000 miles ,so out of warranty.the car had 1 dealer stamp at 13000 and 1 independant stamp at 22000 .vw covered 100% parts 50% labour.
Cool thanks for that I bear it in mind and find out if they will cover this sort of issue.
Update on the service history
The vehicle was owned by a finance company first, There is no mention of
who serviced it but it has got the invoices of what was done and how
much it cost them to do. This is the first 3 services given to you, So
they may have sent it to Vw for the first as indicated by yourself to
keep the warranty ongoing.
The fourth service was done by the 2nd owner at a Vw garage which is a
separate invoice at 66,000 miles.
Not sure why VW didn't mention the 66k service, will have to look closely at that receipt.
I can live without the service book at the price it's at.. I'll try contacting the PO to see if she (she is that good or bad) ever had it in her possession if I get it... I'm sure I can get one off ebay if not
Another question.. how does the ED30 obtain it's extra 30 horses over a standard Gti ?
Big thanks to everyone for their input on this.
