new mk2 owner from Blackpool
« on: 11 November 2025, 18:31 »
 Hi guys,

David from blackpool here, and i have just bought a 1991 mk2 8v GTI.
mammoth trip on the train to the south coast followed by a 6 hour trip home in the Golf.
I think it was worth it though as i love the car.
not without problems though, it drove lumpy as hell all the way home, but a few hours fettling the next couple of days putting things right and it now drives like a dream. (ISV valve stuck ,temp sensor disconnected and timing out, oh and no rev counter)

checked the basics and the dash is now away being repaired.

love the car though and can’t wait to get out and about in it.

always been a fan of vw and my daily driver is a T-ROC R

looking forward to chatting to you all.

David
