what happend to p11jon

[stainesy]

i see!

still prefer mk1/mk2

oh yeah no doubt there. they are the best i recon then the mk3 had to go heavyer due to actuly making them safer in a crash as that was the general progress of cars at the time. i can only assume that vw saw that people liked putting big wheels on there cars when they made the mk4 so they decided to give it huge wheel arches and a fat arss 

[golf-sib]

mk5's eh??? that they up'd the displacement and left it with a k03s turbo    yeah thats an improvement  when the audi and seat got the same engine but with a better turbo. If anything the mk5 was a bit of a con, just paying for the badge 

Don't get me wrong I hate my mk4 as its become a chav wagon, but I think it looks better than a mk3, never had a problem with it either, but like with every mk I think there's pro's and con's. I love the corrado and the mk2 for looks. Don't like the mk5 as its more in price, them chavy seats in GTi spec and then they really didn't improve performance engine wise...

This was the problem drive a car like this for ever it will clog up & die they are meant to be driven properly lol

Maybe there was some lemons then but I stil believe it's down to the way they are driven,serviced etc as never owned a lemon in my life and have had 6 golfs

Na, its down to a sh!t engine in the first place.. FACT!!

well know issue with that engine that VW didn't like to admit, hence why they gave you a bottle of oil at every service and a pouch to put it in

It's always been like that. S3 having more power then the MK4? Different maps on engines etc. It's all marketing hype, it's not a con it's a marketing technique which works.

The MK5 is a far more refined car then the MK4, still with faults appearing but seems a much more planted car on the road and seems to be built better inside, not massively impressed with interior build quality on the MK4.

The MK3 build quality was very good, yes there were rust issues but look at the era and the other cars. Everything feels solid on mine.

My 1.6 has been ragged non stop for the last past two years and I've never serviced it and bodged absolutely everything up on the engine as I've always planned on swapping it with something bigger so wanted to spend no money on it. Everywhere else on the car has been maintained but I've had zilch engine faults other then a coil.
