advice please

[jake]

my last golf cost me lots of money and it still wasnt right sorry all the turbo fans

Whats to stop this high mileage (150k is a lot of miles before anyone begs to differ) V6 from being the same?

Its a very narrow minded view to take imo.

would you buy a 4 motion with 150k miles for 2k fsh advice and no i dont want to buy a 1.8 t  had one didnt like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you didnt like the 1.8t why??? 

Cos for a 150BHP car, they're sh!t.

 

Can you just explain to me in bullet proof format  ..... how you came to that remark ? i.e. "Cos for a 150BHP car, they're sh!t."

Because i really dont understand how you can say that! They are quite literally bullet proof!

Bullet proof format? Could you come up with bullet proof evidence that 'They are quite literally bullet proof!'?

Let me inform you that literally, if you took a gun to the car, it would not be 'proof' of bullets.

For a 150bhp car, (likely due to the weight) they are sh!t, gutless wonders. They run out of breath once on the move and the top speed is quite pathetic for a 1.8.

There are many other factors, such as the plauge of problems with sensors, water pumps that they ALL will have.

Sorry to jump in but this is not a debate about whether the 1.8T is better than a V6 the guy has had a bad experience with a 1.8T and wants a V6, thats his decision, the question is about high miles on a V6,

No problems with water pumps or sensors in my 1.8t

There was, or will be. And you didn't deny the former.

[tonyg]

former what? 

[oliver07]

guys sorry to cause you any hassle but thought you might be able to tell me something about the 4 mo

 

[tg1]

check the rear diff, listen for knocks and bangs over bumps, put it on full lock both ways whilst driving in a circle,

check the oil.

look at the last mot to see what advisories it had.

check for last timing chain/cambelt change. regular oil changes.

oh, and it drinks like george best at a free bar 

take someone a bit savvy with you, or bribe another garage to give it a once over?

or if you want reliable go toyota.  :embarassed:
