Polo 16v: HUGE REDUCTION
Posted: Thu Mar 05, 2009 1:57 pm
Ok guys and girls, i've kinda got bored of the motor after spending shedloads of money on maintenance and modding. Bought the car with some issues, which has all been sorted in the past 2.5yrs I've owned it. Due to getting bored with the project its an opportunity for someone else to carry on with it.
BASIC SPEC
97' model 'P' reg
Central locking, Electric windows, Power steering, Sunroof (tilt and slide), Scorpion alarm, Airbag, factory seatbelts, spare wheel with kit etc.
MOT= October '09 (flew through it with no problems or advisories)
Tax= September '09.
Details
Mileage is currently 97.7 with a FSH. Serviced at the dealers up until the last 2 which were done with specialists. I had a major service done where I spent £700 at Big Boys Toys (I know what your thinking but it shows I maintain the car regardless of cost). Substantial amount of receipts for work ever carried out. The car has just been given a minor service. Receipts and FSH shows it had a cambelt etc changed at 57k and 72k.
Since ownership I have replaced the following;
Dizzycap and leads
Temp sendor
Battery (just under 2yrs warranty) £103
Gearbox had a full recon with bearings and 4th gear replaced. £600
Pedal box replaced. £250
Vacuum hose
Front wishbones £45
Tracking had recently been done last November November.
Mods Bodywork
Smooth front 16v bumper,
Colour-coded 16v splitter,
Mercedes black sprayed roof,
Smoothed off rear badges and plate recess on boot,
Rear 16v bumper plate lights smoothed off and repositioned one at the bottom for plate to sit, * Rear plate is currently on the bumper although pictures were taken beforehand,
Removed rubber side strips,
FK Angel lights,
6000k HID kit,
Slated grill,
16v rear lights sprayed dark red (Also have the black FK LED clusters sprayed red with the VW emblem which will also come with the car),
Dubmeister UK Legal pressed plates.
Interior
Aluminium door pins and matching gearnob (not chavy),
Very clean 16v interior kept by a non smoker.
Engine: 1.4 16v DOHC 100bhp.
K&N 57i Induction kit with cold air feed hose.
Handling
FK 30mm - 120mm coilovers (not sure which model as previous owner fitted them.) Currently sitting around 70mm.
Black Diamond combi discs with BD Predator pads. Just had a new set fitted which cost another £60.
Rims
15" 1-piece polished Zenders with studs at 7J ET25. Not idea what model they are as i've never seen another set nor has anyone been able to tell me! One rim has a major kerb although it could be fully refurbed. Not really noticeable and still polished on a weekly basis. Comes with 195/45/15 tyres.
I'd prefer to sell the rims with the car.
ICE
SEVIC 3.5" DIN1 DVD player with USB, SD, AUX, iPod, removable fascia and remote. Never checked if any factory speakers have been replaced, which I don't think they have although there is a set of Sony Xplode 6x9 speakers.
Bad Points:
Few fine line scratches along driver door which can easily be touched up or Tcut; not noticeable. Interior-wise there is a tiny tear at the seam of the driver seat bolster. The bigger glovebox lid out of the 2 is broken; easy £5-10 to replace it. Also the usual amount of front end stone chips expected from a 11yr old car!
Bit long winded but gives you an extensive idea about the motor; I hope! However, feel free to ask questions or send me a PM.
I'm also willing to px cash eitehr way towards anything VAG and preferably diesels, mk2's, raddo's or A4's.
The car is situated in East London and i'm looking for £1995 ono.
