« on: 07 May 2009, 22:36 »
hi i have poped over from the mk4 section to ask about the mk3 vr6 golf.

so wot do you think of the car as a whole? iam thinking of selling me gti t and get my self one, i have allways wanted one. :wink:

i have been looking around and they dont seem to cost much at all seen a few that have a few mods for around £1100-£1500 .

now drivin a golf 1.9 tdi 90bhp ... time to rack up them miles!! as my daily

For 1.5k you should get a very very good condition one.

bought one about 3 weeks ago. black highline, 94000 on the clock 1300 quid.  Having a few water problems, but don't care too much because i'm loving the drive.  Has an awesome engine sound too.

Mine is a black highline as well. Love it. No major problems, fuel economy not bad( i don't care anyway).
Needs a gearbox mount, but that is the only thing since july last year.

Good engine, rest of the car is not so good.
