Title: Hello - Mk 3 Newbie
Post by: percymon on 27 February 2007, 11:25

Hi guys n gals,

great forum, already picked up some useful stuff on here in the last 24 hours  :wink:

picking up my '97 TDi tonight - not the most exciting motor maybe ( a mere 90bhp :( ), but as a runaround and general commuting tool it'll hopefully serve me well. For what i've paid for it, it'll not matter if it falls to bits after 3 months lol!

Mileage currently at 100k, VW service history til 65k, then VW specialists.    I think all the main bits have been done, exhaust 2 years ago, battery and starter motor 1 yr ago, decent Michelin tyres all round.


No idea about clutch or injectors or pump replacements, might find them listed when i have chance to sift through the paperwork  :rolleyes:

Jobs for the weekend already piling up :(

Wash n wax
repair glovebox - like everyone else from what i read  :undecided:
Oil n filter changes
Gearbox oil change - looks easy so might as well
Find a cheap cd player to replace the Sony radio cassette  :grin:


Look forward to searching for more info, and asking silly questions in the coming weeks



Thankfully fleebay looks to be loaded with bits n bobs, so running costs should be pretty low.
