Rich Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 GTI gearboxes are like all of them, just check it shifts okay. pedal box isn't an issue because it's hyraulic not cable so there's less stress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 just check it's all straight and no crashes, you always hear about people getting them and they've been crashed, tap panels, check the sounds hollow, no bodge, wheels are straight that kind of thing. I once bought a crashed one . . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Starter motor probably. did it happen for about a second after it fired?Its a common thing with the starter motor, but don't 'think' its a problem, its more just a pain to hear it. A new starter would sort it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
