Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • BRIS: Looking at Golfs

    Hi all

    I'm selling my Starlet GT and looking at some golfs.
    MkIV GTi seems to be in my price range. I had a look at This one on Saturday and am after some feedback. Perhaps someone knows the car.

    1: No front Lip.
    2: AC does not work. Dude says it just needs a regas. Is it likely to need a full AC system overhaul (replacing all seals etc) and how much will that cost?
    3: Needs 200k km service and timing belt.
    4: Appears to have aftermarket exhaust
    5: Recaros are nice to sit in, bit worn on the bolster where you rub on entry and exit.
    6: Has INSP flashing on dash. What is the deal with that?
    7: Battery is wearing a jacket but is not restrained in the engine bay. Is that right?
    8: No first aid kit or emergency kit.
    9: Jack is rusted
    10: Looks like it has a black DIY induction hose, as it is cable tied to the bumper where the horns are

    Is it still a good deal?
