Golf mk6 / Re: What have you done to your Mk6 today then?
« Last post by Bluto on Today at 18:35 »
A sad day, after 11 years' of ownership and at final odometer reading of 217,076 miles. I've finally sold my Mk6 GTI, it's new owner collected it this afternoon.  :cry:

Was on Autotrader for just over a week.  First caller ended up buying it.  Hopefully the new owner will look after it and enjoy it as much I have.

Demonstrates I think that despite a high mileage, a cared for car with full service history, 11 years' worth of invoices and maintenance records can still sell.  And for more than double than what WBAC offered - though it was always going to be a private sale due to its age.

Hoping the Mk8 Clubsport will bring as much driving enjoyment over as many years.  :cool:

Golf mk7 / Re: Tyre recommendations
« Last post by KieranMc on Today at 13:23 »
I'd like to hear from anybody running Conti SC 7's - they seem to come top of many tyre reviews for overall performance and yet not many are running them - only asking as they could be on my list for next time.

Can’t say I am particularly impressed with them tbh! Loads raving about them they seem to be quick wearing and grip not what I expected either! I had Conti SC 6s on couple of previous type R I have had and they were superb but don’t like the 7s on other half’s golf!

145k miles. Owned since new August 2013. Still ticking all the boxes for me !

It’s wearing its 145k miles very well.

IMHO Carbon Grey is the best colour (exclusive to the mk 6 and mk7 GTI and GTD) and Rotary’s are the best 18” VW alloys :cool:.
Totally agree  :cool:  I did just have to replace front shocks/springs/top mounts and bearings but that’s to be expected with mileage. Car is very well minded.

Front DCC shocks and all 4 springs done last year. A pot hole broke the front left spring and shock so I had both sides done. One rear spring cracked and the other badly rusted. Not cheap but I’m happy with it lasting 90k +.

Mines a mere child from late 2018 with 25k on the clock but it’s encouraging to hear that GTI’s over twice the age of mine are still more than going strong and owners are still loving them. Mine’s a real keeper as well.
