Hopeful MK2 GTI owner seeking advice
« on: 19 February 2012, 21:22 »
Hi guys,

I'm looking to purchase a Golf MK2 Gti, 1.8 16v preferably. I'm here mainly for advice, being new to GTI ownership I could with some pointers when going to view cars. I know that some older Golfs have rust problems but if there are certain things that I should be looking out for, for example any common issues with older models, I would really appreciate your feedback.

Looking forward to reading your replies,

David :)
