Hey everyone, it's a long time since I was last on here but I've the Golf all this time. It has been a great servant for our family of 4 but, having just bought a newer car, it's time for this to move on...
EDIT: now on ebay
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/293335822157?ViewItem=&item=2933358221572006 (56 plate) Golf GT TDi 170 | Blue Graphite | 148,500 miles | 1 previous owner
MOT until 30th Oct 2020
Tax until 31st March 2020
1/2 tank of fuel & can of engine oil, ready to drive away.
The car is getting a bit tired cosmetically as you'd expect at this age & mileage but still runs well and pulls very hard. The DSG has always been trouble free and works with no problems while the history is well documented and has had some big jobs done as you will see below; can easily achieve 57 mpg on long cruises.
Spec:
Blue Graphite, DSG gearbox, RNS-510 satellite navigation, Climatronic air conditioning, Highline display, MFSW steering wheel, cruise control, auto lights, auto wipers, dimming rear view mirror, 17" Classix alloy wheels, GTi rear bumper & skirts, R-line front grilles, mud flaps.
History:
1 previous owner; purchased by me in Oct 2013.
Long-life service stamps at 18k, 36k, 51k, 73k, 98k & 119k.
Turbo replaced by VW in 2014.
Cylinder head replaced in 2016 due to coolant leak (>£2000 spent).
Cam belt & tensioner changed as part of the 2012 service at 52,000 miles and again as part of the cylinder head replacement at 110,000 miles (Next due at 190,000).
DPF deleted in 2016 & engine re-mapped to 200bhp (has passed 4 MOT's since the DPF removal without issue).
Documents and receipts present for all major work and more.
Faults:
Both front wings are rusting and the right rear wing is dented.
Slow to start on cold days (probably glow plugs ~£29 each).
2 hub caps missing (stolen and never replaced).
Exhaust soot on hard acceleration due to DPF delete & ECU re-map. This is more a consequence of the modifications than a fault but I want buyers to be aware. Note: this does not fail the MOT and the car does not soot at idle.
Would be great with a little TLC.
Car is in Galgate, near Lancaster.

Cheers,

PS - I also have a set of cherry red tail lights and Sonniboy blinds (single piece rear window) that I thought were too good to leave on the car before it went on ebay where they wouldn't earn their value.
I am not one of those and i'll sure share anything i have to offer!
