Gmaster's steel grey GTI

(1/5) > >>

Gmaster:


Newbie here had my mk5 gti for just 3weeks.
brought it from this forum and the owner before was on here and owned it for four years.
Any way it's a import car with a high spec just what I was after and in the right colour.
Came with FSH and loads of paper work it's had cam follower, cam belt water pump done DV, etc.
But it's not a good start to MK5 gti ownership...
Noticed the dreaded diesel knock sound when I was driving it home!!
Then battery died on me...a week later
Went in for a service and they had a problem with the oil filter a part broken from pervious service so oil not being filtered properly!!
I've hardy driven the car and now it's been at the garage for last 3 days
Should get it back tomorrow, but still won't drive it till I get the cam chain done which was diagnosed !!

I'm just hoping once the cam chain is sorted I can start to enjoy the car..
The cost so far is scary... Battery £100, service plus extra part for filter £200,
Cam chain some where between 600- £900!!!
 :sad1:
