Hi everyone.

Currently have a Mk5 Gt Tsi 170 but looking to upgrade to a Mk6 Gti as soon as the right car at the right price comes along.

If you get a mk6 gti make sure the cam chain tensioner is not an issue, my car had to have a new engine at 45000 miles. There was in issue, earlier cars had tensioner failures, so if it hasn't been sorted, get it sorted before it fails. Hope you get a good one. They are quite relaxed, but I've fitted a pipercross induction kit and a remap (rstuning, leeds), now it's good fun. I'd recommend that.

Very nice. It would catch my eye so I'm certain I haven't seen it.

How much does it cost getting the cam chain tensioners sorted?

I'm not sure, mine had already popped and been fixed under warranty. Look it up, it will say somewhere on here or club gti.
