    Are you sure you are not thinking of the n/a 1.4 80bhp? ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,336 ✭✭✭wendell borton


    It doesn't look good for VW golf reliability, if all does things had to be replaced in a well looked after car with low mileage.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 16,620 ✭✭✭✭dr.fuzzenstein

    Could possibly be. But still sceptical on "serious" power. Serious is putting the foot down and accidentally going past 200 km/h.

    Thats what I was thinking! If he has spent €4k on servicing and maintenance this year alone then thats a car I would be steering well clear of...

    They're quick-ish..not like a GTI but a lot more poke than a base 1.4. Serious power isn't an accurate description nonetheless :p

    Sure chances are the car spent most of its time being driven to within an inch of its life. If the chain has been replaced at such low mileage surly that would suggest it was driven hard a lot when the engine was cold and the oil wasn't viscous enough to lubricate the chain correctly as it was not up to temperature or maybe it just wasn't serviced on time or with the correct grade oil. Even if it was priced right I'd say it would be a car to avoid.

    I see what you're saying but, on the other hand, it could just be a really troublesome Golf MarkV variant.

    Don't be too quick to slag the guy for poor maintenance. The twincharged 1.4 TSI is well known for causing a butt load of issues including throwing a rod and stretching the timing chain. They only made the twincharge for 3 years for good reason.

    I thought they were still selling TSI's?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,865 ✭✭✭✭MuppetCheck

    Not twin charged like that anymore. That particular version was discontinued and replaced with turbocharged only ones.

    When did VAG cars become the marque of choice to skangerise amongst the particular demographic that's partial to that nonsense? It was always 306s and the like back when I was in school iirc.

    Seeing lady owner automatically springs the following to mind....
    It's never/rarely been checked for oil
    The alloys will be badly Kerbed
    There'll literally be a years supply of bobby clips lying in the most random places

    As a lady driver I do check the oil, don't use bobby pins, alloys are perfect as some of us females can actually park :P
    Generalisation much :P

    Yeah based on my experiences in cars with members of the fairer sex, I'd probably consider "Lady Owner" to be a negative tbh! :pac:

    I knew I'd upset you (and stheno of she sees it!)
    From experience, that's what I've always come across.
    The few women that do all the above....don't tick the stereotypical advantages of a typical lady owner because they know what the accelerator is for!

    Checking it for oil my mother won't even put diesel in here car :pac: either me or my dad have to do it. So as for her going to check the oil or anything mechanical not a hope. All that really happens is any mark or scratch that appears on her car is everyone else's fault and If you even try to accuse her good luck.

    What comfort would one have with "slamming" a car so excessively. Any little bump and it would catch the arch, no? Had the pleasure of seeing a lad with a car the same if not even more lowered, trying to manoeuvre his way over a big enough ramp the other day. He had to go over it at an angle of about 45 degrees, crossing over to the other side of the road in the meantime!

    Its one of those fads that I really dont get. Its not comfortable, practical and it doesnt even make the car look better (quite the opposite in fact). Each to their own but while its fine on a show car that will most likely be trailered all over the place, for a road going car its just pointless.
