Title: 2007 GTI with 77,000 miles
Post by: SimonBash on March 03, 2011, 10:40:19 pm

Hello all,

Looking at the above tomorrow, nice and local to me, good spec car only two owners but high mileage.

Camblet, pulleys etc were replaced in the last year.

Anything else major likely to need doing soon on this mileage/age?

Cheers

Simon

Possibles could be:

Diverter Valve
Coilpacks
Front Bushes

Other may suggest other bits but as long as FSH and sounds and feels good when you drive then  :driver:

Coil pack should be free if its on the recall list,
also check to see if they changed the water pump when they did the cam belt
