going to get my mk2 16v saturday

[kuk sool]

hi finnaly found a mint mk2 16v two owners from new last owner 10 years and only 74k  with full service history to boot need less to say im paying the piper n this one but it seems mint!!!

its standard and ive heard the 16v will pink a little on normal unleaded so can any one recommend a brand or should i only use super unleaded

also are these chain driven (read in another post on this page that someone wanted advice on buying a 16v and someone replied saying there a bit rattly on strat up due to the chain) i thought they were cam belted !!!!! if they are chain driven when do they need maintenance???

[Gambit]

timing belt & cam chain

chains need changed roughly around the 80k mark as they start to rattle

a 16v doesnt sound nice anyway at idle, its known to sound rattly

run it on Shell Optimax if poss, or Super Unleaded if you cant get optimax

they run on 98 RON petrol

98 is optimax
97 is Super unleaded
95 is normal unleaded

[Gambit]

how much did it cost you then?

nice one mate, get some pics taken and on the gallery asap

mk2 16v do not really like normal unleaded, you should only use super unleaded or go for one of those kstar things.

well it may come as a shock but it is mint and there fore i paid for it

?3995   but  

and will get picks up right away but that will be next week!!!

its a 91 reg three door in black only mod is a eyebrow spoiler.... last owner was middle aged and used it very little as the 74k mileage suggests!!!!

cant wait

[kuk sool]

oh how much does the timing chain and fitted retail at then!?!

[Overseer]

christ that price is high!

i paid 4500 for my mk3 16v

[Gambit]

4k!!!!!

jez i paid 1200 for mine with 79k on it, all be it lacking a service history

[kuk sool]

thats a bit high then is it???

i guess the difference in the mileage between 74 and 79 must equate to the diference in price

well there getting few and far between now and people are asking alot for them as there cult status is getting bigger!!! i guess its down to what the car is in the end!

5000 miles and ?2800 difference - I hope you arent being serious! Is it concourse condition?
