Hey all
I'm Nadine, I'm new here, just purchased my 3rd pug 306. This time it's a black phase 2 GTI-6. Am I right in saying a black GTI-6 is rare? Anyways this is a project for me, it has a few things needing doing. And I will be asking for loads of help no doubt.
Here are some pics

Welcome aboard
'6 looks like it could do with some TLC but nothing too bad... It's not an overly rare colour but it's a good one nonetheless.

Engine seems to have been taken care of. How often should u do the timing belt on these? The guy had it done 10k miles ago, with receipts to prove

Should be good for another 20k, although depends how long ago it was changed... But I can't imagine it was long ago if it's only done 10k

Welcome to the club
They should have the cambelt changed every 36,000 miles, though most people seem to go with 30,000 who know the cars. Some people have been unfortunate enough to have the belt snap at less than 36,000 so it's definitely a good idea to keep on top of it. It's also advisable to change it every 3 years regardless of mileage.

Thanks Kingy. She only cost me £200 and most of the issues are cosmetic that I can sort. Em I'm more a top chick than a top bloke but I knew what u meant

Hey Nadine, welcome along for the ride!
Spent a fair bit of time in Rosyth and Dumfs last year, not to mention the amount of money spent on ale. A good night out, Dumfermiline that is!
Good luck with your project.

Yeah cranks over but didn't fire. So either no fuel or no spark. He said it had sat for a few days, and that there was no petrol in it.

lol not starting isnt a good selling point, but and theres alway a but, if you know some one who's handy with the spanners and can get it going again, its a good bargening point, offer them scrap value for it as it dosnt run
