Description
For sale Mk5 Volkswagen Golf GTI Tornado Red 56 plate, the car is a facelift with the BWA engine code and red lighting interior.
Full service history with loads of receipts! MoT December 2016
New Diverter valve, PCV valve and cam follower in the fuel pump! All recommended changes from the MKV GTI forums. Fully refreshed rear springs/shocks and drop links within the last 12 months due to a spring being broken all OEM parts.
Mtech dimpled and grooved discs plus Eibach yellow stuff pads all around around 5000 miles done on them so loads of life left.
The car also has four brand new tyres and the alloy wheels have been refurbished to standard so no kerb rash!
Car has 122,700 miles on the clock, when I first bought the car it was on around 116000 and I was only doing around 60 miles a week, but a job change in the latter half of last year meant I was doing around 300 miles a week which was not my initial plans for the car so have to put it up for sale.
Bluetooth parrot handset is also installed.
Car has had no expense spared in my ownership for the past 18months, the Oil has been changed on two separate occasions along with filter, I have also changed the diverter valve to a newer revision G one, the PCV valve was also renewed to a newer revised model, the car has had a new cam follower in the fuel pump and a cabin filter all within past 18 months and 5000 miles.
During my ownership I have also installed a Ramair induction kit, the kit makes a great sound and benefits performance, I have wrapped the kit in heat resistant tape to stop heat soak, the original engine cover and air intake will come with the sale if you wish to put it back to standard.
Main reason for sale is I am doing a lot more mileage than what I had I planned for the car, it was being used as a commuter which it does exceptionally well, but I am not making the money to pay for the sort of fuel costs petrol bring when commuting 300 plus miles a week sadly, for that reason I purchased a diesel Fiesta Zetec S as a cheap runabout and have to put this car up for sale.
Bad Points
The car is perfect mechanically, the paintwork is great in some places but has the usual stone chips and marring on paintwork that you would expect of a car that is ten years old, the driver’s seat has slight wear and tear from people getting in and out, there is also some peeling on the door pulls which is common on these cars.
Please don't expect a brand new car as it is 10 years old. It has been a fantastic car which pulls exceptionally well, handles brilliantly but still cruises comfortably, the first to come see the car and test drive will want to buy it!
Please text as I will be in work and won't be able to answer phone on most occasions.
