New Mk4 1.8 T owner!
« on: 04 June 2005, 17:22 »
Hello, there.

I've recently come over from the Peugeot 306 GTi-6 forum, & am hoping that I'll get some of the same, useful & friendly advice/help, here.  :smiley:

Bought the other week:-

1.8 Turbo 150 bhp (Hopefully will soon be around 210  :evil:)
3 door
V 2000
Satin Silver
31k

Came with:-
FSH
12 month warranty at any main dealer
12 month tax
12 month MOT
30k service done
new windscreen
3 new tyres (Goodyear Eagle F1's)
Bodywork tidied up a bit.

I owned my "6" for 2 years,  but recently sold it to make way for my new Mk4 Turbo.

I have very fond memories of the old girl, but I felt it was time for a change, as it was starting to show its' age.

The Golf is not as quick in a straight line, & is not in the same league as the Pug in the handling dept.

BUT.....

Hopefully a Milltech '4 Motion Style' S/S exhaust, a Jabbasport re-map & some Eibach springs will edge it ahead of the GTi-6.  :evil:

I'm also looking forward to some German build quality!  :grin:

 :laugh: I certainly hope so!

Actually, had a couple of nasty clunks already. Both my window regulators have gone!  :sad:

A common fault on these, apparently???
