Title: From a MK4 GT TDi to a MK5 GT TDi
Post by: chrisr on May 23, 2010, 04:08:43 pm
Just thought I would start a thread on my my GT TDi.

After owning a few MK4 Golf's & spending money on them to mod them I decided this time when I sold the Golf I would hold out for a standard GT TDi 140,

I looked at a few & even some 1.9 TDi sport's but none of them seemed right for me, Then one day I saw what looked to be a nice genuine example on Ebay, It was in Ilkeston in Derbyshire (About 80 miles from me)

I rang it up & made arrangements to go & see it the next day after I finished work. It took me about 2 hours or so to get there due to the rush hour traffic, Anyway when I got there I had a good look round it & took it for a test drive,

I found it hard to fault the car so when negotiation time came I couldnt really say too much negative about it but I started with a low offer & ended up paying £5900 for it.

The car is a 04 plate GT TDi, 2 previous owners (One being VW as it was a demo car), 92070 miles, Full service history (last done in November 2009 at 91500 miles, On the last service it had new discs & pads all round, 3 new Pirelli tyres, it also had its timing belt done at 81000 miles,

12 Months MOT, Taxed till end of October, All previous MOT Papers & tax discs.

The spec of the car is far better than my mk4 with, Auto light's, Auto wipers', Auto dim interior mirror, 16" Alloys,front arm rest with 6 disc cd changer, Overall im really happy with the car & how it drives.

Not had time to take my own pics yet so ill use the ones from the sale advert, But first a couple of my last 2 MK4's

The silver one was a 1.8t GTi, Bought it totally standard & did every thing you see above.

The next was my last car before the MK5, Its a GT TDi 130, Again bought it totally standard in Feb 2010 & did everything you see to it,

The Black one had a Genuine R32 front with Leon Cupra R lower splitter, Genuine R line rear Bumper, US Spec rear lights, Audi TT wheels, Lowered 35mm.

Personally though if you have an Anni & do those things to it then keep your origional bumpers so if you sell the car you can put it back to standard.

The modding on the MK5 has started already

No plans to lower it, The Black one was dropped & I really didnt like the ride of it, Its only sat like that because its on the driveway, Once its on flat ground it looks alot better :happy2:

Hey Chris.

Can I ask what sort of side skirts they are? They don't look like GTI ones.
