Evening all,

 

I am fairly new to the site as a member (been lurking for a while) as I am currently looking at getting a mk1 VRS as a daily and have some questions which my searching skills can't seem to answer! 

 

Firstly, I presume most people run these as dailies so whats the sort of MPG I can expect from mostly DC/Motorway driving?

I am aware there is some known common failure parts on the 20vt engine, but is there anything specific which will go wrong, regardless of how well its been maintained?

From what I can research, the cambelt is every 60k, but can't seem to find a definitive price from local garages (£300-£500 seems to be a rough average), is this about right? 

Is there any colours or spec which are more sought after and any which are not?

 

Now the sensible questions have been asked, what about mods?

As its the same platform as a Golf, I presume most mods work across both cars, such as suspension and engine mods?

 

Thanks!

A warm welcome to the Forum !  Why not post this one in the relevant model section.

Thanks for the welcome and apologies for posting in the wrong place, I will pop a post up in the relevant section now. Thanks! 

No apologies needed - we wanted to say 'Hello' anyway
