MOT failure has rendered this: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-Mk3-GL-TDI-AHU-code-not-AAZ-1Z-/112413575987?hash=item1a2c5f0b33:g:PcQAAOSwsXFZIAhP uneconomical to repair Recently powdercoated so no marks at all on them, ET38 (from memory) they're from a SEAT The wheels have premium tyre brands (1x pair matches) all legal but not sure on tread depth (around 3-5mm) Make me an offer, collection in Kingston SW london. They are yours for £250 but given my current situation I just need to recoup any sort of cost put into the Golf so I can get my beloved a cheap banger to keep her mobile.

Hi folks Long shot but thought I'd put it on the radar of any potential van owners or anyone else who wants the rock solid 90s 1.9TDI AHU engine in their vehicle. MOT fail but if you can weld then it's some patching and brake pipes for a reliable runner (will throw in a front wing to sort the "duct tape section" now so familiar on mk3s where the drain plug clogs). We've got a mini-financial crisis on our hands and we need to get her mobile again so looking for whatever I can get for this: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-Mk3-GL-TDI-AHU-code-not-AAZ-1Z-/112413575987?hash=item1a2c5f0b33:g:PcQAAOSwsXFZIAhPIf anyone is interested in a set of 16" 4x100 Ronal Multispokes recently powdercoated white pictured in the ad - drop me a PM Happy bidding Also if any Nigerian princes are struggling to get money out of the country and there is a hefty reward for helping I'm also more keen to listen than I have been in the past

Mixed bag of news...
Yes it now goes, stops, changes gears, steers (although one TRE needs done still). Feeling quite positive about the car's future. All usual MOT trouble spots are fine and due in July. But (always a but)...
Due to a self-contained economic crisis and lack of space I have to let her go before I can reap the fruits of my labour. No way will I get my money back on the car or the parts.
In keeping with the MOT thread, should I test it because a pass would double value or not bother because a fail makes undrivable (and cannot afford any work ATM)?

Incredibly insightful answers folks thank you
Annoyingly/ironically my last proper VW was a 2dr Jetta!
I squinted my eyes and theres a finished beast in there somewhere. This weekend I will dispassionately prod all the usual trouble spots with a screwdriver and dare to look at the wiring.
I'll report back ASAP thanks again for taking the time to talk me off the ledge (in both directions!)

As I understand it, a company called Solera owns both Audatex, HPI and now (correct me if I'm wrong) CAP too so it's likely whoever you use will be going to the same database... Audatex do most of the insurer's database stuff on claims and repairs plus there's a whole heap available to the public. I presume they hold some elements of the check back to other agencies except the original and best HPI? Recurring niggles or advisory notes on MOTs are a good place to check too through the DVLA site, not so much for stolen/mileage/crashed stuff but to gauge how on top of things previous owners have been. Good luck though, it's a jungle out there buying semi-new cars... at least with old crappers you can safely assume it needs constant, recurring work that will never end

Can you tell what it is yet? (accent a clue to where but not the now-creepy connotations) Best thing I ever did. Everyone else in the convoy had boring old Avis or Enterprise mid-size stuff and the queue for rides was ridiculous. Relatively(?) cheap considering the pedigree and the gent that owns the garage renting them (yes plural petesclassicgarage.com/) out was truly one of us... Driving down the iconic Great Ocean Road (please please google image this place) it was bliss. Admittedly it had a very conservative diff on it and was tuned for reliability not power but cannot recommend highly enough! EDIT - B*LLOCKS MY IMAGE UPLOAD NOT WORKING (drag and drop and links failing - any ideas)
