Mk5 GTI to Mk6, what do I look out for + remap options
« on: 12 January 2013, 13:21 »
Had my Mk5 GTI for 6 years now and the mileage is creeping upto 70k. Seen a 2009 Mk6 DSG with all the options bar SATnav for 16.5k. 

The Mk6 has done 36k, needs DSG service,Cambelt due in May. Does have full VW service. Is there anything to look for on DSG, My Mkhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volkswagen-Golf-2-0TSI-210PS-DSG-2009-GTI-BLACK-/251207221371?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3a7d1e007b5 is a manual.

Looks like a decent car.
But there are options that car hasn't got...so I'm not sure if they told you it's got all the options bar Sat Nav...but it hasn't.

As long as you take the advert with a pinch of salt, it seems to be a decent car.

The ad lists navigation (it hasn't) and premium soundpack  (it hasn't got Dynaudio either as there is a pic of the RCD splash screen without it).
Looks like a tidy enough car though.

I had a quick look last week and pointed out to them it didn't have satnav, " oh it does I just cant remember how to get it on "... err no it doesn't! i should know its in mine!. doesn't have cruise either . decent price and if i can knock em down due to cambelt and dsg needing service,,,, and it not having nav.  :wink:

Mk6 has a timing chain, not a belt!

yes sorry, it is down in the VW service price brochure as cambelt change, but it is a chain.
