Hi ive just sold my Gti, theyre spot on engine wise, realiable as the hills id say, ive never had a single problem with mine,
the only thing id say is the track rod ends seem a common problem ive just replaced mine,
oh and if it starts getting really sluggish and bad on petrol it can be resolved by changing the AFM iirc which will improve fuel economy
nice car though if not too concerned about power
