Description

Very difficult decision to sell this car but times change and I'd like to move this car on. Since purchase in 2020 this has been maintained absolutely no expense spared and has also had a fair amount of restoration work thrown in for good measure. Over 9.5k has been spent and 100's of hours put into this car. Don't let the mileage fool you this is a car that will go on for a long time to come. Here's a by no means exhaustive list of jobs carried out during my ownership: Replace cam cover gasket Replace rear brake callipers Replace rear and front brake back plates Recondition rear ARB and fit new bushes Replace front ARB and bushes Replace Tie Rod Ends X2 Replace rear track control arms X2 Replace rear upper and lower wishbone arms Replace rear swing arm ball joints X3 Replace Front & rear springs Replace rear swing arms X2 Replace rear trailing arms X2 Replace rear brake line subframe part Replace front brake flexi hoses X2 Overhaul rear subframe and treat with POR-15 Replace both intercooler pipes Replace HPFP cam follower Replace oil pick up pipe Replace rear wiper motor Replace rear hatch wiring loom Replace rear brake light centre and both rear lights Replace both front wings and repair work in other areas Partial re-spray X2 Replace air con compressor, condenser and ancillary parts Replace clutch and flywheel Replace water pump Replace cam belt and tensioners Replace brake fluid and coolant Replace both CV joint covers Replace 4 Coil packs Recondition BBS wheels A,B,C Pillar and Headlining re-trim Leather trim deep clean and re-sealing Replace O/S window regulator That's not even half of the work either I or a trusted garage have carried out. I've always replaced parts with genuine VAG or in rare instances parts made by the OEM. The file is comprehensive. Oil and filters have been replaced at 5-7k mile intervals, it's always been serviced well. Comes with Pilot sport 5 tyres which are transformative in handling. The bad, the turbo is a bit tired as to be expected of this mileage. Some minor cosmetics from daily use. I've not got round to replacing the cam chain and tensioners but I have the genuine parts. Call to come and see, if it doesn't sell I'll probably just keep it and get the little that it needs done. Where I work the phone signal is poor so please leave a message if I don't pick up. Mileage will go up as it's my daily.
