I have carried out lots of work on this vehicle over the last two years, far too much to mention and genuinely thought I would never sell it, we have had many fantastic family trips away in it and had planned many more (hence the new roof tent) but our plans have now changed, this VW looks great and is a pleasure to drive.
It's all ready to go, comfortably fit a family of four / five for day trips or camping trips, just in time for summer.
There are a few things to mention, as with all older vehicles
6th gear is notchey to select when cold and lower speeds , this came about after the engine replacement. When the box is warm it gets better. No crunches etc and drives perfectly fine when selected.
Air conditioning works but needs re gas, seals or condenser issue as it lost the gas pretty quickly after it was re gassed last year.
Stone chip in windscreen, no issues just passed MOT.
Electric doors, drivers can be temperamental to close on the handle. Both doors work perfectly using the buttons on
