Mk4 GT TDi 130PD
« on: 10 January 2012, 00:14 »
I bought this golf a couple of months ago as a gap filler, but i'm starting to like it (alot)

So have decided to spend spend spend.

pics when i got it.








Car was 2 lady owners from new with FULL service history with all receipts.
Winter pack fitted - so heated cloth front seats (Now in process of changing to Full leather interior - pics when completed)
6 speed 130PD model
On trip computer 2 had 50.6mpg over 9000 miles (so driven very carefully for a long time  :smiley:)


1st job - Rear axle bushes changed  (bloody bumps did my head in)
2nd job - Intercooler boost pipe changed.

I have fitted leather seats, just the door cards to fit (and leather arm rest on order)
Parrot blu tooth kit fitted
Pipercross panel filter to fit (if i can remember where i've bl00dy put it)

Changing wheels to 16" VW as im trying to keep OEM as possible.

Re-map by end of January is next

Well that's nice, when you get a temporary car and decide you want to keep.

Looks like a good one too.  You'll be re-mapping it next   :lipsrsealed:  :grin:

I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
