Good evening all,
After an extensive search and many hours of reading as much information I could from the threads on this site, I have managed to secure a 1.6 FSI that was advertised not so long ago on a certain Tree website.
After contacting the seller and asking the relevant questions, receiving more pictures, videos and going through the history of the car, I went ahead and brought it.
After picking up the car and driving it home I can report it’s a cracker, it pulls well and goes through the gears nice and smoothly, the steering is okay at lower speed but tends to vibrate at speeds in excess of 70 mph, a Investigation is required I think.
The rear boot gas struts need replacing, the drivers door is catching on something and has that metal clunking sound as you open the door.
I have to work over the weekend so I will not be able to have a closer look until next week, it was very clean to begin with but I would like to have a real go at a spring clean.
Pictures to follow 1. When it’s light and 2. When I have cleaned it.
Regards
Jae.
