I can afford to buy a Golf, just don't wanna pay the ridiculous price they go for considering they're they're still just a shit 10 year old car and all done over 150k now. Do I want one? Not really, didn't 'want' the previous ones...but I can't find anything else that even comes close in terms of spec and cheapness to run for the same price.
Discs and pads, front suspension was replaced because of a leaking shock, drop links, seat height adguster (which is actually still broken), god knows how much wire and crimps fixing the door loom and the radio loom etc, wiper motor, service/aux belt/tensioner (which incidently, still sqeals like a bitch), handbrake cables, various bulbs as this car seems to just eat them....and after all that its STILL broken - no heater blower, droning wheel bearing, horrible gearbox feel (maybe the wheel bearing noise is the diff breaking, who knows...), something engine wise is f*cked because its stupidly slow, Im guessing turbo as I can't even feel the boost, MAFs probably f*cked as with all of them, airbag lights intermittently on even after the wires being crimped, the interior literally falls apart and has most of the screws missing - theres only one holding my tailgate plastic on ffs, and theres nothing holding the centre console in!! Something clutch related is f*cked as its so juddery, as said earlier the exhausts blowing, theres an oil leak which I think is turbo oil reurn, coolant drops alarmingly quickly, and as you know it drinks fuel, I could go on but I wont! It'd cost hundreds of pounds to even get it to a half decent standard which is just isn't worth.
I've had enough of it already, not looking forward to the next 6 weeks of it at least.
