Spend that kinda coin then turn around and state "great reliable car".
I wonder what happened to require all that work in one go ?

The phrase "P Plate Legal" might have something to do with a destroyed engine, turbo and clutch

You are definitely the exception to the rule. I think the fact that you hang around a forum like this demonstrates that you care a lot more about your car than the average 17 year old.

Most P platers think maintenance means washing the car and a service is when you check the oil and pump up the tyres.

I have known so many P platers who killed their cars because something minor went wrong and they didn't understand the gravity of the situation and just kept driving the car until the domino effect took out the entire engine or drivetrain.

I would have no problem buying a car that has been driven by a P plater but I would be very very wary of a car that had been owned by a P plater.

That's defiantly true. I'm a P plater and I can tell you that most P platers don't look after their cars with the level of care that it deserves.

But from what I've seen, P platers that drive, imports, whether it be, Euro or Japanese, look after their cars a lot more than people who drive Holdens or Fords. It has to do with the level of interest the person holds, usually if the person buys that car they have always wanted, will keep it running 24/7.

I know that's the case with me, one of my closest mates is my mechanic and I'm always annoying the crap out of him when it comes to keeping the 4motion in perfect condition
I mean, no squeaks, no clunks, no sequels, everything perfect all the time
For me, that's what I love about VW, it requires love xD

On that note, Haldex service soon!

Cheers

Did you see the colour of the coolant header tank? The brown does not look good.

That's the colour of the plastic the header tank is made of - they often brown with age.

[JustCruisn]

x2 the heat causes it to brown over time. The colour is cosmetic only.
