All Things Mk5 > Mk5 General Area
It had to happen sooner or later
GreigC:
Would you sell the ED30 alloys separately? Might be interested… not sure WBAC would notice of you put stock GTI alloys on it.
Jons1001:
Please let me know if you do end up going to WBAC as i would be interested if you were open to selling. They always try and knock some off for anything as little as stone chips so maybe we could come to an agreement that beats their price.
LC5F:
Sorry to hear that @Pudding - at least you got plod to do something useful.
Didn't you do something with the clutch a while ago? or was that part of the box swap.
Be aware the Mk7 GTTD is a thirsty beast, work mate used to have one as CC, even with mileage paid for he was still glad to see the end to the fuel bill for non work stuff - but he loved the handling & torque.
He moved onto a 3 series (something with E drive) and bemoans the Munich cars its handling compared to the Wolfsburg effort.
Despite being very Scottish - even plays the bag pipes - he didn't like the tartan, so I count him as a partial convert!

Yeah it had a new Helix clutch and MK6 gearbox summer 2020 I think, so it had better not be the slave cylinder already!
Yeah well, that's VW diesel gate for you :grin: All of the German car brands are flat out liars when it comes to mpg claims, so them being thirsty in the real world is a given.
The Honest John website has real world mpg tables from real world people, and the BMW diesels seem OK. You need the M sport suspension to bring a 3 series alive, but the F30 shape in general drives really well, even the hum drum 320d. The main reason I'm after a 1 or 3 series is because of the ZF 8 speed auto. It's bloody brilliant for commuting :smiley:
Yeah I might advertise the ED30 on here but tbh, if the garage takes it in as part ex, that's my preferred option.

Yeah you'd get good value on here selling it I think, it's been super well documented and everyone knows how much attention to detail you've given it mechanically. I'd buy if I wanted an ED30 right now. I'm too much in on my own now that selling it would be accepting how much money I've lost on it so can't bare it :grin: selling cars privately can be a faff, I hate it personally but can mean considerably more money in your pocket. I've found part ex-ing usually better than WBAC offers in the past also.
