Hi all
Apologies firstly if these questions I'm about to ask have been asked before (I'm sure they will have been!)
I'm looking to get a Mk6 gti. Manual or DSG I'm not particularly fussed, but have a few reservations and queries if you guys could help I'd really appreciate it:
1. With regards the timing chain issues what do I need to make sure of if I buy a 2009 / early 2010 model? (My budget probably won't stretch for a 2011 or later)
Is it a case of just making sure the latest revised tensioner is fitted or are there other things that need to have been done?
2. A bit of a daft question - there's a few I've seen for sale that have factory mud flaps front and rear. Personally I'm just not a fan of them at all (I don't mean to cause any offence to you guys who have them on here) so was wandering if anyone had bought one and had them removed? If so did it leave any holes on show that were 'obvious' to see?
3. Anything else you guys can offer in the way of advice for a 2009 / 2010 model? Things I should know etc.
Many thanks!
Thomas
