Stage 2 n a bit....
Still spot on, and pulls like a train, with more need for traction than my modded suspension and PS4s can supply!

Not many, 109K, but feels like it's done 209K! My point with the Corrado was "They don't make 'em like they used to" :smiley:

Spot on there buddy! :happy2:
I also run a 20 yr old golf cabby, and tbo, tend to use it as a bit of a skip! Despite being sat outside for 3-4 weeks at a time, it always starts first pull.
3 yrs no advisories on MOT, other than that rear number plate is faded and will need replacing soon. :notworthy:
I gave £750 for it 5 years ago...
Only 120k mikes tho.... :signLOL:

Hehe yeah.
Never really had the bonnet or anything else open my self.. Always had it through the garage to get parts and service replaced/done. Here in Denmark the taxes are way to high that we could afford a new car with the same specs than our mk5.
Looked at a Audi a4 5 door in good condition with the need to have parts from 2013 and that's like 35.000GBP :rolleye:

Also ran on stock clutch until November last year.. Changed it when I got the car remapped.
So they can run for a long time if you're reasonable with it :)

OEM clutch was OK until mapped then gave up.

115,000 miles,
stage 2+ since 106,000.
I've had it since 96,000.
Other than an intermittently slippy clutch because of the remap, is all good. Needed 1 wheel bearing in 19,000 miles because of a faulty abs ring.
Even survived a rally down to Monaco last summer :happy2:

So in total I have 331k miles covered. Interestingly, the distance to the moon (approximately) is 240k miles, so when you look at miles on the clock now, try and see it as number of trips to the moon.
Post by: willni on May 20, 2017, 10:25:30 pm
2012 Golf R on 50k mile, a 2008 Passat TDI on 133k, a Mk2 Golf on 130k (need to confirm) and a 1973 Beetle 1303 on 18k.
So in total I have 331k miles covered. Interestingly, the distance to the moon (approximately) is 240k miles, so when you look at miles on the clock now, try and see it as number of trips to the moon.
I have to ask about the beetle, engine rebuild or original milage? and any photos? :smiley: :smiley:
