Hello,
I've owned my GTi for 3 and a half years now. I bought from my brothers garage for £300 as an MOT failure. It cost me a couple of ton to get it through its MOT, originally it was going to be a stop gap car for me, but I quickly realised what a brilliant car it is, so i've kept it. Since i've had it the ECU died on me a couple of winters ago and I've had to do the usual things on it, new tyres, brakes, exhaust etc (not all at once mind). Its just recently passed another MOT too.
I have never been attached to a car as much as I have to my GTi. Its got 179k on the clock and it still performs well. The only down side to it is the body is looking a bit tired, bits of trim missing, a few rust spots on it, the paintwork (dark blue, almost purple looking in the sun) is looking tired too. As time permits I do plan to sort all these bits out.
Just recently though the gear change has been a bit sh!te occasionally. Trouble finding gears when changing up or down. Sometimes its no problem at all. Any ideas what it could be??.
I don't know much about cars, and i was wondering if anyone on here could help.
Thanks.
