Cheap GTI needing a little work
Posted: Mon Nov 17, 2008 12:11 pm
Reflex Silver 6N2 Polo GTI.
2001 x Reg
52k miles.
Around 4 months tax and 10 months test (I'll confirm the exact dates)
Cambelt replaced 46k miles.
Boot mounted CD changer.
Full Climate Control.
Gas Discharge Headlamps.
Raceland Manifold.
Few little touches, Lupo GTI wipers, Beatle sunglasses holders and Honda style aeriel.
No dints or filler.
Mint interior.
First owner from new till 1.0 year.
Second owner from 1.0 year to 4.0 year.
Myself from then on.
Bad bits.
Gearbox was rebuilt following bearing failure.
Fully rebuilt using VW items by experianced gearbox specialist.
After less than 40 miles while running in I was foolish and drove the car too hard and now 1st gear is noisey under full load (cant hear it if you are driving it normally).
The box will need to be removed and the main bearing replaced again.
As the car hasn't been driven, its higly unlikey there will be any damaged, so should cost no more than £100 to remove and refit the box and £100 for the bearing to be replaced.
I can put you onto the specialist if you dont want to do the repair yourself.
Gearbox casing used was a 1400 so requires a reverse light switch and speedo sensor from a GTI box
You could replace the plugs on the loom, little more work but costs next to nothing in parts.
Wheels were stripped to be refurbished.
Centres are completed, two rims and completed but two need finishing.
The car is on some cheap 5 spokes with good Eagle F1 195s on the front and good Dunlop SP9000 205s on the rear.
Fuel Tank Sender needs a clean, works fine when driving in a straight line or turning left but looks to be empty during right hand turns.
I dont even have the time to take the car down to Sheffield to get the box rebuilt, so until I find the time to complete the car I will accept an offer of £2000.00
I will take some pictures at the weekend (Its dark when I go and come home from work)
Heres a few older pics, nothing much has changed with the exception of wheels.
