Volkswagen Polo 1.9 GT TDI (130 bhp) PD An opportunity to purchase quite a rare and very well looked after car… · Made between 2004 and 2005 only. · One of only 589 ever made. · One of 304 left on the road. · One of 172 Navarra blue ones left (and it’s a 3 door!). I’m the second owner (first owner being a Doctor – with invoices to back it up). Originally purchased from Chiswick Volkswagen in 2005, then by me on 8th May 2021 in a private sale. The car remains standard mechanically – no boy racer engine modifications and has been maintained incredibly well. 71,510 miles, full comprehensive service history (lots of VW history), factory MS Design Austria (Votex) body kit, 17” VW Borbet Exor alloy wheels (very rare), Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres. MOT till August 2024. Cambelt changed in 2021 at Inchcape Volkswagen, Wirral. Every service invoice, consumables invoices and MOT available in a complete folder for inspection. It’s a quick car that is superb on fuel, tax and insurance. Below is a full itemised list of work done within the last 18 months to keep this car immaculate: Maintenance & Repairs: · Genuine cambelt and water-pump replaced at Inchcape Volkswagen, Wirral (£548.98) · Major service, Mannol engine flush, Castrol Edge 5W30 VW spec oil and Bosch filters @ 59,145 miles (£80.92) · Interim service using Castrol Edge 5W30 VW spec oil and Bosch filters @ 69,102 miles (£41.99) · Bosch S5 005 61Ah silver battery (£58.76) · New Dayco auxiliary drive belt (£16.03) · Bosch windscreen wipers, front & rear (£21.99) · Holt’s silicone treatment for door and sill rubbers and plastics (£4.08) · New Hella coolant reservoir (£13.70) · New black Italian leather gear gator with grey stitching (£8.96) · New official VW fitted floor mats (£54.98) · Triple QX lithium grease treated door/boot/bonnet latches (£4.39) · Bosch ‘Dura-therm’ glow plugs (x4) (£53.96) · Bosch OEM rear taillight bulbs with Philips Silver-vision indicator bulbs (£17.99) · New OEM parcel shelf (£36.40) · Wynn’s radiator flush (£5.49) & Triple QX G13 VW Spec purple coolant (£18.49) · Philips White-vision headlight/ side light/ main beam bulbs (£57.57) · New Febi Billstein fuel filler cap (£9.98) · New drivers seat tilt handle (£5.98) · Michelin Polit Sport 4 205/40/R17 tyres (x4) (£320.99) Upgrades & Styling: · Genuine VW 17” ultra rare ‘Borbet Exor’ 5x100 alloy wheels (£200) + Alloy wheel refurbishment and powder coated in ‘Titanium Silver’ by Cyclone Powder Coating, Manchester (£180) · Full brake calliper refurbishment and colour change to ‘Magnetic Grey’ by Auto Renew, Liverpool (£350) · New 56mm VW alloy centre caps (£5.48) · VW Motorsport number plate surrounds with blue pinstripe (£19.98) · Official VW rear lights + wiring loom from Polo 9N3 (£89.99) · Porsche black fluid caps (£14.26) · LED side repeater indicators (£13.99) · Key fob shell covers & VW GT blue tartan key rings (£29.97) · Blue dust caps (£1.99) · Full MS Design, Austria ‘Votex’ body kit including grill (£520) · Full colour coding and installation of body kit by JC Paint, Wirral (£1,300) Parts Never Fitted (but will be supplied): · Re-trimmed VW GT steering wheel with black nappa and black perforated leather, grey stitching, and blue ring at 12 o’clock by Custom Control Steering Wheels (£192) · Febi Bilstein splash panel for brake discs (x4) (£40.40) · JP Group Oil filler cap seal (£1.16) + All original parts packaged up neatly in the boot should the new owner wish to swap them back, but I was going for an OEM+ kind of look. This car is twinned with the more common Skoda Fabia VRS and Seat Ibiza Cupra of the time, so lots of parts are interchangeable. Only downside is that the electric mirrors do not work. I have recently had them replaced with new ones, but believe the problem is with a connector in the drivers side door, which could be fixed with a loom or connector from a donor car. T&Cs of Viewing - Serious interest only! No boy racers, no groups of more than 2 people, proof of insurance for test drives. You’ll seriously struggle to find one... then find one similar in this condition, spec and mileage! A proper TDI VW! Happy to answer any questions on 0785 999 8259. Many thanks for looking, Jon.

So I own a 56 plate 1.4 TSI sport 140bhp, from research mine is the only one left of my year/trim/model left and was wondering if anyone on here owns the same

I recently bought a 13 plate 2.0 TDI GT 150, 5 door automatic... I'm looking at getting it remapped. Has anybody else on here remapped their Golf GT (150 bhp) ? Cheers, Ben

Hi All, Newbie here, just wanted to ask a few things before I make a purchase. I am currently looking into purchasing a Golf 1.6 Auto Diesel Bluemotion (59 plate to 11 plate) fit within my budget. Would you say these are reliable? Any common faults I should be looking out for? What mpg figures should I be expecting? Thanks!

Hello, I am selling my 2000 reg diesel silver 1.9 GT TDI MK4 Golf. She has done a lot of mileage at c. 234,000, but she is still going strong. It's a 6 speed gear box. The turbo has slowed down power wise, and it needs cleaning out, as stated by my mechanic. Internal wear and tear but the body is in very good condition with only a little rust on the bottom of the driver's door. I loved this car; the only reason I am selling is I bought another petrol car for a very good deal (petrol is more economical for me now, as city driving rather than long distance). I would break her as she would make a fair bit in parts, but I just simply don't have the time or space to do so. MOTd until May this year and currently declared as SORN. So, for this reason and for quick sale, I am asking for £400 ONO. Only sensible, serious offers please. This is a good bargain due to the demand and profit that could be made on silver MK4 parts. For more images, or questions, please let me know. Manchester area.
