Sorry all for not replying last night my laptop went bang too !!!!! (that wasnt a linkage, more operator error) Thanks for all your comments. Im so happy the car doesnt need a new gear box as that would have been the revo money I had put a side down the pan (missus thinks it's for a new front door- pah). To be fair to the garage, I called them last night and he said he would get on to it this morning. I thnk he was happy when I said it was a broken linkage too.

Ive just been out popped the bonnet again in anger. Noticed one of the linkages the gear shifter was disconnected. Hmmm feeling a little better now. Still going to cost me money for a new linkage as the bolt has sheared clean off. Might be an excuse to buy a short shift while the gar

the good deal I got on the car does not look so good anymore.

it's just outside 64K miles. Ive searched the net but drawn a blank. Just hoping it's not the syncro (garage quoted £700)

:( Ive brought a 06 VRS last weekend, but today I lost 1st and 2nd gear for a second... Pulled over to the side of the road, pumped the clutch and they came back, but then lost reverse. Ive called the garage, who said it could be the following : 1) Synco (new gearbox) 2) Hydraulics 3) Master Cylinder. Anyone heard of this before ? Cheers Glen

Hello everyone Ive been away from vag for a while (since my revo'd mkiv 1.8T), but im coming back this weekend (hopefully) I looking to buy any MKII VRS 2.0T, but as ive been away for so long ive lost touch with the "things to look out for". Ive read the common issues & solution thread, but in a test drive it's very difficult to spot the slight changes in things due to it's all "new." Can you provide me some tips on a high level on what to look for when im seeing the cars this week / weekend ? The spec's im looking at are : - 56/57 plates, with 44 - 55K miles. Also, what are must have's in the spec's I look at ? e.g. Jumbobox No doubt when I have brought one, I will be tunning the pants off it like I did with the Golf. Cheers and hello again Glen
