Description

Here I have for sale my completely rebuilt MK5 GOLF GTI. In my ownership the car suffered the dreaded balance shaft wheel bolt snapped causing the engine to starve of oil and damaging all the internals ie spun bearing on crankshaft, scored camshafts and more. Long story short I could have just gone out and purchased a complete second hand engine but I decided against it as I wouldn't be able to guarantee the longevity of the engine. As this was my daily I wanted a strong stress free engine and being in the motor-trade I went and overhauled everything. Mileage 106,000 500 miles done since rebuild Mot until 25/02/2026 4 tyres like new Second hand bottom end Second hand crank New camshafts New crankshaft main bearings New conrod bearings Completely refurbished edition 30 head with new valves New valve stem oil seals New rocker arms New hydraulic lifters tappets New genuine VW water pump New continental timing belt kit New genuine VW chain New sprocket for cam New cam follower VIS balance shaft delete kit New head gasket kit and various other gaskets all replaced. Crank pulley bolts all replaced Timing case bolts all replaced Head bolts all replaced Crankshaft seals replaced both sides Oil filter housing and oil cooler gaskets replaced. New PCV breather pipes As you can see the list goes on there may have other stuff if I remember I will update it, but literally a complete overhaul. I have pictures and receipts for literally everything, pictures before during and after build as proof which I can share with the new owner. Sadly with insurance prices and road tax prices going up I can not afford to run 2 cars anymore as I also have a mk7 golf R so one of them has to go and sadly it's the mk5 GTI. General condition of body is good considering the age of the vehicle has the normal mk5 slight rust on front arch's and under rear tailgate badge and small areas of lacquer peel on rear quarter. Car benefits from a full leather interior Flat bottom steering Fully working air conditioning USB, aux cd stereo Full service history 2 keys Drives spot on This car has been given a new lease of life and will go on for many more years.
