Marko's TDi OEM+ project

Featured Replies

Hi All

Right the Vrs is gone and the time for the TDi is now!

The story starts with a long drive down south to J18 on the M6 from just outside Edinburgh,

I had the Vrs up for sale for 4 weeks with no one but time wasters phoning me and i was just about to giv up when a boy phoned me wanting a swap for the TDi, i was a bit hesitant but when he put a deposit in my paypall i was good to go.

A 3 hour drive later i was looking about the TDi and the deal was dun.

It cost £60 to get the vrs dow and £15 to get the TDi back!

So now Iv got a nice clean 1999 pre-face lift GLX TDi ( 90 BHP ).

The project starts with a good clean and wax, she came up realy nice.
