Description: 

Extremely well preserved model and cared for like it was my second baby, this has been my pride and joy throughout my 3 years ownership. Xenon headlights, cruise control, amazing sound system, very spacious and nimble family car - in essence a MK5 GTI with a different shell. Never been remapped or abused, it has always been meticulously maintained and cleaned with a lot of time, effort and money invested in it. Has full dealership service history up 82K miles with tons of ensuing pro-active maintenance completed during my ownership (with proof). When I bought this car @82K miles it received a complete engine and gearbox with 28K miles onboard. Prior to install, the engine had a complete new OEM timing kit done (both ends), injectors were sent out for flow test and resealing (invoice and certificate available), received a new R8 coil pack set and NGK Iridium spark plugs, fuel filter was also replaced. In order to prevent common faults/known issues of the BWA engine I replaced the High Pressure Fuel Pump camshaft follower tappet, installed a PCV delete kit from Forge (to mitigate carbon build-up), and replaced the OEM Diverter Valve with a serviceable billet aluminium blow-off valve from Forge. All of this has been done to increase engine reliability and longevity. Also replaced all wheel bearings as a precaution. The vehicle also received new brakes last year which are OEM size but offer better performance: at the rear Brembo Drilled Performance Discs, Brembo Sport pads, new OEM (TRW) callipers with revised stainless steel pistons; at the front EBC Turbo Groove discs and Yellow Stuff pads, new calliper sliders and repainted. Last year it had a gearbox service with OEM VW transmission oil. Serviced every 4-5k miles only with Millers CFS Nanodrive 5w40, Bosch filters (OEM), had latest full service at ODO reading 100600, along with: new batterry, boot struts, wipers, AC condenser (+seals), new AC switch, AC regas, new coolant radiator (coolant flushed and replaced), new thermostat, new front lower control arms. During my ownership it never turned a wheel until the engine reached idle RPM, never went above 2500RPM until coolant temp reached 90, always given 1-2 minutes to run at idle before shutting off, and only refuelled with Shell V-Power or Momentum 99 (fuel receipts available). Wheels refurbed last year, are as new. More pro-active maintenance completed than I can list, thank you for checking my advert, looking forward to hearing from you guys. Next MOT due 12/10/2023, Full service history, Blue, 2 previous owners, asking for £5995 but open to sensible offers. 

 

Car is in daily use and mileage will go up slightly. Will be serviced at/before 105K and willing to provide a service kit with it as well if sold before that.

I have also rebuilt the car's original engine (listed on Briskoda as well) and am willing to do a discounted deal for the lot, including all engine ancillaries and gearbox. 

 

 

Condition: Great condition, mechanically bulletproof, minor stone chips on the front

Service History/Receipts/Recent Service work: Proof of purchase of complete engine+gearbox with £28K miles (including donor vehicle details, which was written off due to pillar A damage after hitting a deer). Receipt/invoices for all consumables and most new parts installed, bar small things (i.e new badges, new window switches witch were sourced from TPS through contacts in the motor trade as they don't deal with consumers). I even have 98% of the fuel receipts - all for premium fuel. 

Extras: 18in Zenith alloys (as new), Xtreme HID Xenon kit fitted (nice slight blue tint matching the car), OEM cruise control retrofitted by Awesome GTI Manchester, Climatronic Dual Zone AC, chilled glovebox, magnificent sound system (factory fitted but would put most new cars to shame!), Front seats adjustable 6 directions + adjustable lumbar support.

 

Mods: DV replaced with Forge billet aluminium DV with built-in BOV, Forge PCV delete kit.
 

Shipping: Could potentially deliver within reasonable distance if deposit is paid to cover for time and fuel (non refundable)
 

Collection: Yes, from Bolton, BL6 (near to Bolton Stadium / Middlebrook Retail Park).
