Selling strictly as Spares or Repairs due to a drivetrain issue. This is an ideal project for a mechanic or DIYer to fix and flip. Given the high SEL specification, excellent extras, low running costs, and impeccable maintenance history, this will make a highly valuable car once repaired.
The Good Points & Extras:
* Low Road Tax: Only £35 a year to tax, making it incredibly cheap to run once fixed.
* Full Service History: Meticulously maintained with a complete service history split between VW main dealers and trusted independent garages. The engine has been highly looked after.
* Engine runs beautifully: The 1.6 TDI engine starts instantly, idles perfectly, and runs incredibly well.
* Good MOT: Valid until April 2027, so there is no hassle of an immediate post-repair test.
* Premium Tyres: Fitted with 4 matching Continental tyres, all with lots of tread/wear left.
* Detachable Towbar: Fitted with a premium detachable towbar (great added value).
* Dashcam Ready: Hardwired with neat front dashcam wiring (Micro USB), ready to plug in.
* SEL Spec: High factory specification with upgraded interior and trim features.
The Issue (Spares/Repairs):
* There is a prominent shudder and a metallic clonking noise when shifting into 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear.
* This noise/vibration remains constant while driving in those higher gears under load.
* We suspect the issue is an internal gearbox differential or worn mounts.
* It still selects and engages all gears smoothly. Ideal flip for someone to swap the gearbox or rebuild the unit.
Bodywork Condition:
* Generally good for its age and mileage, but please note there is one dent on the nearside (passenger side) wing, and a dent that runs across from the rear quarter panel onto the rear passenger door. Priced accordingly.
Important Delivery Info:
Because of the heavy shudder and clonk, the car must be recovered/trailered away. It should not be driven home to avoid causing further damage.
Strictly sold as a project for spares or repairs. No ridiculous low-ball offers, please.
