Re: Should I get rid of it?

Thank you for that list, should have researched more before buying it. I had a 2010 Scirocco prior to this one but wrote it off. ;[

I think I've changed all those parts now, so hopefully it should be ok!!

Re: Should I get rid of it?

Another problem with my car...

Temperature gauge flashing red light, topped up coolant, 2 weeks later light comes on again..

Turned out to be a coolant leak and water pump needs replacing.

Another £350 on this piece of shit. :clap:

Re: Should I get rid of it?

I was genuinely thinking that. Car's cursed.

More bad luck today.. went out for a quick drive to take some photos to post it online here.

Scrapped another wheel to shreds and their Matt Bronze so impossible to colour match :rolleyes:

Re: Should I get rid of it?

Hehe, thanks guys! I'm going to keep it, you're right it'll be stupid to sell after putting that amount of money in - just hope no other problems *touch wood*.

Really enjoying the car at the moment, will post some pics of it in a bit to show what the "investment" paid for!!

Within 2 weeks of driving it and 1 day after putting a £1.5K sound system in it, engine dies, turned out that cylinder 3 piston cracked and low compression. Take it ...
