Title: mk3 golf 16v 1.6 100bhp???
Post by: golfmk31993 on 02 May 2008, 17:19
ive found a mk3 someone is selling local to me,

the bodywork is mint with no rust and its dark blue
its got 67000 miles :smiley: 1997 model

Adjustable seats, Adjustable steering column/wheel, Air conditioning, Anti theft system, Central locking, Child locks, Cruise control, Electric mirrors, Electric windows, Heated screen, Heated seats, Immobiliser, Passenger airbag, Power assisted steering, Remote locking, Radio/CD Multichanger, Traction control  :smiley: :smiley: :grin: :grin:

he said that its a rare 1.6 16v 100bhp model but ive never heard of a 16v 1.6, is this right wot he is saying?

he wants 500quid o.n.o it sounds like a good deal to me, and it will be a step up from my current 1.4 single point injection non power steering 93' mk3  :smiley:

That's a new one on me. I could understand all the extras because they were throwing them on the last of the mk3s in 1997. I doubt it will have heated seats unless they are leather. It will certainly not have traction control on a mk3

Theres a 105bhp 1.6 16v MK4 golf?? The first Mk4s were about in 1997

£500 though????? I paid more than that for some seats for my mk3. It's entirely possible he's not bullsh!tting about the car spec but it would be a mk4 and a death trap if he's willing to sell it for £500

Sounds like someone that has spunked loads of cash into a mk3 1.6 to get all the those features, and thinks that abs also means traction control......

auto data didnt show up any 16V engines but its possible as the polo was fitted with one at the same year.
