Hey guys posted on here a few months ago when I was selling my MR2 turbo. Now its finally gone I fancy a cheapish golf and have come across this...

Only thing he mentions is about a whine from the water pump that stops after 5 mins, whats your thoughts on thsi fellas?

Shame the pictures a bit small to spot anything major. Personally I would steer away from chipped cars.

It doesn't sound to good really, okay most of the parts needed can be sourced thru breakers and the web honestly yes its a 16v always nice to have a bit more power than the 8v (like mine) wouldn't pay more than £500 absolute limit. MOT til Dec and tax at end of month. Anybody else.

There are better ones out there for a bit extra that maybe haven't been modified and therefore you can do as you wish and not have to undo anybody elses work to get it the way you want. :smiley:

Well I put my max bid in of £652 and its gone straight to that  :grin:
So cant imagine I will be getting that one now. My budget is pretty much £700 as I have used ther est of my cash to clear some bills etc..

If anyone knows of a MK3 GTi 8v or 16v (not really fussed.) for sale then give me a shout. I know my budget is tiny but Im in no rush and there is always a bargain every so often as I have learnt lol.
 Ive never really had a "hot hatch" so to speak, jumped straight into the jap scene at 21 and spent 6 years driving MR2 turbos.
Mind you as aresult I cant see insurance being much of an issue on the golfs (which is a plus)
