Title: Edition 30 buying help?
Post by: JackD117 on September 21, 2018, 03:50:32 pm

Hi all, first time posting here but I've been lurking for a while. Finally in the market for an edition 30. Going to view one early next week. It's a 2007 reg with 57k miles. Anything I should be looking out for specific to the edition 30's or are they similar in common faults to the normal GTi's? I understand they're different turbos, internals etc but with a full service history hopefully all should be good. So any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Picked an edition 30 up in October and forgot all about these forums, since I've been on the Facebook group haha! That particular one I was on about was a shed so after travelling all that way, it was a wasted day! Few weeks later one popped up in much better condition and a better price so went for that! Absolutely love it!
