Title: New MK3 GTi owner
Post by: technics100 on 02 September 2012, 22:05

Hello everybody..

I just bought a 1995 MK3 Gti 16V.  I'm on my 8th VAG motor, coming from a Bora highline.. but have had everything from A2 1.4 TDi's to 4.2 V8 S6's.. couple of A4's and a few boras..

My latest machine is a 1995 5 Door Gti 16V in Twilight Violet.. has 135k on it and seems to be in good enough nick.. Has a few issues. pass front window gets stuck down, but will come up when using the remote fob.. Also sunroof is a bit tempormental, seems to stick open one minute then works fine..

Only pic I have so far.. clear sides ordered..
