I'm putting my Golf up for sale again as I don't use it. Text copied from my old ad and updated...
This car has been one of the most reliable cars I've had. I've owned it for over a year and covered about 14,000 miles in it.
I've changed the crank sensor (a right pain of a job!). It's had new rear brake disks, pads and wheel bearings, and I've changed a couple of ABS sensors too. For the MOT it had a couple of patches on the front of the sills, however the garage said that beneath the bodykit sill covers it's good (I was worried that more rust would be uncovered)
It starts first time every time, and I'd drive this car anywhere and trust it to get me there. It's pretty good on fuel too (35mpg +).
It has a K&N air filter but is otherwise completely standard and unmolested. It has electric windows, central locking, factory immobiliser, electric sunroof.
A few points to mention:
The airbag light is on - I've read that this is most likely the contactor ring which needs cleaning behind the steering wheel, but I haven't investigated.
The electric windows don't work. The drivers side front needs a new regulator.
The driver's door needs a new lock barrel. The broken barrel was making the central locking act strange so I've pulled the fuse. The car still locks but you have to push the pin down and lock it from the passenger side.
The drivers door has a slight scuff / dent low down so I was planning to get a replacement door in Dragon Green and solve the scuff and window winder problems in one go.
There is a slight blow in the exhaust although it passed the last MOT like it. It may also need an exhaust hanger as sometimes I hear a slight rattle if there's something in the boot.
There are a few rust bubbles here and there, on the front arches for example. There is a rust-free, Dragon Green front wing included in the price.
That's all I can think of!
If you have any questions please just ask.
