Hi everyone,
Ive just put a deposit down on a silver 02 Golf 1.8T with 81k miles on the clock, FSH but the cambelts not been done nor the water pump it seems however tighteners were added at 70k? :undecided: The previous owner was told by the garage the belt didnt need doing until 120k.
Anyway, to be safe than very sorry im going to get these done.
There are a surface few marks on the plastic bumpers and the odd one on the mirror casing where they have been caught against something, can anyone recommend a place where I can pick up a touch up pen to hide these nasty bits? Or is there a better way to sort these bits?
The car drives great and Im glad I decided on a Golf over a ST170 !
-
welcome :smiley:
got any pics of the scrapes? might be able to get them machine polished out if not too deep
mirror casgin it might be cheaper to get it sprayed up - get both done at the same time

look on Ebay for people selling 2nd hand ones - make sure they are genuine though - avoid the copies at all costs!

Ah well spotted mr bob :wink:
-
Indeed, it does look a goodf armrest though. you coudl either get that, and try to source the mounting bracket etc from VW. Or hold out until you spot an auction for the entire package.

Never seen one working TBH. I did look at this few months ago :undecided:

I quite like the look of something like that, but from what I can tell it involves having a big box on your dash. That'd really annoy me.

yeah if it was ordered thats where they would live - your tools should be in a plastic holder in your spare wheel well :nerd:

looks like some one left the triangle on the hard shoulder and use the first aid kit in the house :sad:
-
I have the little first aid logo on my side cubby hole, but nothing inside it but the 6 CD changer, no triangle either. I imagine the same side panel door was used, regardless of where the car was sold :)
