Description:
Firstly Ill just like to say I haven't joined this site to mess about or be messed about.
I have a MK5 Golf GT TDi as my daily 50 mile round trip commute to work. Its got 110000 miles with FSH. Always serviced on time. I have owed it within the family for last 3-4 years. Since I start driving it 2 1/2 years ago, I have spent a lot of money on it sorting out all the common problems on the car as not to have any problems when going to work and also not to give any of my family problems. Most of the work I have done myself as I have owned may VW and Audis with similar engine so I know work has been carried out 100% unlike some garages who try and cut corners.
It has all the usual GT spec including dual climate control. 4x brand new winter tyres. MOT till FEB 2015, never had any issues with MOT before. Turbo replaced last year October with brand new part. This included changing the turbo pipe (brand new dealer only part) and flushing out all pipes. Since changing turbo 12 months ago, it still has the turbo whistling noise which I have got checked out numerous times but its normal for these engines to have that and has caused me no problems. EGR has been removed and mapped off the system so no error lights come up and at the same time the car was remapped to 189 bhp (however have since tuned it down to 170-175bhp). Car now runs perfectly and does not over boost or spin when setting off. Power in all gears and has surprisingly become a lot more economical giving a average between 44 and 50mpg. Full rear brake system was also carried out and recently had the front shocks done. Car drives comfortably with no bangs or rattles. Clutch and gearbox feel smooth. Car also benefits from a VW headunit which includes Bluetooth/DVD/MP3/SAT NAV/AUX/SD. I have also recently installed new projector, angel, DRL headlights running at 6000k which look awesome. Have never even thought about changing alloys as drive is so comfy. Body is in good condition with the odd mark and dint but nothing major. PLEASE NOTE - I have also de-badged the back boot as well as of last week
Reason for swap is I am looking at getting a bigger sized engine for commuting so I am looking for any BMW 320D, 325, 330, X5D, Audi 2.5 and above, VW Golf GTi only. Something I can think about remapping in future to have some fun whilst commuting. I am looking at 3700 for mine so do not mine paying cash on top or my way. Let me know what you have.
NO TIMEWASTERS OR MESSERS. I wont waste your time don't waste mine.
