Good evening,

Arrived at Lookers, walked around the used cars, which are all kept undercover, with artificial light, saw the car from a distance, and was a bit unsure ( maybe disappointed?) about the colour..

Went and introduced myself at reception and grabbed a coffee.

By the time I got back to the car for a test drive, I quite liked it, stopped on the test dive to have a look in bright daylight… and I loved it 😊

Matching tyres on both axels, Dunlop on the front, Pirelli on the back.

Great condition inside, with unmarked seats.

Full main dealer history, and a fresh service.

But, what’s this PPF?

PPF / GPF - Petrol or Gasoline Particulate Filter, an emissions filter. No great shakes if it hasn’t got one, advantage (if this is one), clean exhausts, disadvantage, can need a regen (i.e. a 20 min blast at over 60 mph). Some folk may say the exhaust note is different but I can’t comment on that.

I'm not a fan of White Silver but must admit it looks great in your pictures. Congratulations :smiley:

Nice to see the Santiagos, they are a good looking wheel which I had on my last car. Pain in the backside to keep clean but well worth it.

If it hasn't got a PPF/GPF then it should also have direct and indirect fuel injection, which means the valve's won't carbon up as fast as a later GTi with PPF/GPF, as they only have direct injection.
A look at the inlet manifold is the easiest way to tell.

Wise words👍
Forgot about that, it was mentioned when I bought mine (with a PPF) - I just hope that decent E5 / 99 RON fuel and a decent blast every now and then helps mitigate.

Street lights set it off a treat 😊

Unlikely 😊

Maybe some darker wheels?

Congratulations... It looks great, I do like the white silver.

I thought the non PPF cars exhaust sounds a little better too?

If that was a paint chip on the mirror housing?... a set of black mirror caps would contrast nicely with the roof?
