Hello from a new member
« on: 17 June 2024, 18:23 »
Hi all

Thanks to the admin(s) for allowing me to join - I've just bought (last Friday) a MK6 Golf GTI (2010, registered in 2013) and as I am new to GTI's, I thought it would be good to join this group.

Just over 38,000 miles on the clock (Japanese Import) I am currently trying to get a local garage to swap out the timing chain and tensioner (its currently running lovely, no funny noises on start up etc) but the first few I tried have said 'No thanks, too much work / too complex.' So still looking. Its a fantastic 'proper' car though, and its goes like nothing else I have driven (maybe a Skoda Octavia VRS, but never got that on the motorway).

Cheers.

Welcome Smokey  :smiley:

The car sounds really nice, could you post up any photos?

Where are you based, some members might be able to recommend a specialist assuming the work even needs doing?
