Hi, I've just bought a 2001 Golf GTI 1.8T AUM and have a couple of questions...
1. The car more often than not makes an unusual noise when starting which the previous owner informed me was known as a 'sticky start' in the VW community, can anybody explain what this is?
2. The car has a couple of tuning stickers in the back window, I've contacted the company to ask what work (if any) has been done but as yet I've had no reply. Are there any obvious indicators I can look for which might give away what work has been carried out?
Until now I'd never driven a Golf GTI - my initial feeling is it suffers for the lack of a 6th gear, it pulls really well and feels solid in 1st gear but everything after that feels labored when driving the car flat out.
Any feedback or advice would be appreciated.
