...and I just can't believe it! Since owning the Mk2 it's like joining some sort of elite club or something
On the roads you are given loads of respect and not just from other VW owners. I've had 9 different cars in my 5 years driving and this is by far the most tight-knit bunch I've ever come across.
Like today for example, I was checking the plugs and coolant levels when I caught a glimpse of another Mk2 passing my house. The bloke driving nodded in appreciation and likewise I nodded back. A few mins later he pulled up outside my house and we got chatting. Told him a few of the little niggles with the car which I was planning on sorting and he was really clued up and helped out loads, top bloke too!
Anyway so far the niggles are:
Coilovers a tad low and seized so are being replaced this week
Oil on plugs! Think this is rocker gasket related.
Scraping noise coming from right side front wheel at very low speed getting worse on lock. Suspect driveshaft or something.
LHD beam pattern on headlights. I'll have to change them as there doesn't seem to be any way of adjusting and it's bloody annoying!
Just thought I'd share my experience so far... anyway here's a little piccy
