Ive still got the 80 and haven't sold it....
£50 to spend on it?!!! £1800 to date and I haven't even started underneath the car yet.
Car is being re loomed atm....after having to remove the dash due to complete electrical failure after only getting to drive the car for about an hour the day after purchase.
After removing the dash we were completely horrified to find what I can only describe as a ticking time bomb waiting to explode....and im not even exaggerating....bare live wires everywhere not insulated...ECU screwed into heater duct with wood screws......relays just floating around with bare spade connectors and so on......
Don't want to start a slagging war but im not even going to mention what unbelievable 'Bodges' I wound under the bonnet because I don't know who was responsible?
I have owned many vw and Audis and there is one lesson I have learnt in the last 12 months of owning this car.....don't ever buy a car on a "hunch" it really can turn around and bit you on the arse.
At least when and if I do come to sell it I know and will be happy to say the car will be safe and reliable and not being held together with 'Plastic milk bottle tops' 'plastic pens' and bits of 'wood'
that's no exaggeration either.
Like I said I can not emphasize anough that this was responsible by the previous owner..but whoever it was 'Free Barclays pens' to join vacuum hoses together and plastic milk bottle tops to hold coilpacks in!!!!! REALLY?!!!
