mk2 Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 That's a bit rare. so not really a basic 1.8 8 valve lock it. Put an alarm in it. Disable it. Track it. Remove the steering wheel. B'stards who take my cars... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarosa Posted April 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 It’s got a very 90s alarm, no battery, no seats at the moment and it’s makes a funny noise at 1750 rpm 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a loose hose which is throbbing as the air pulses out of the exit port. Not sure you can get the seals anymore. It was tricky finding them a few years ago when i rebuilt one.

It’s the charger, it’s an addictive noise. It came with a twin light debadged grill, it now has a proper quad light back on. A full stainless exhaust The typical sunroof leak which was the seal. Factory BBS in need of a refurb. And it’s done 100 miles in the last ten years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend had it, and for years I was saying “sell me the golf” the reply was “I’m not selling the golf” after about three years of this he asked if I was still interested... £3000. We were sat going through all the paper work with a brew and it turned out he’d owned it since 1999. I’m the third owner. At this point I was only bothered with one with, whether it was a ‘he or she’. He said neither it’s just a car but before I drove off he tapped it on the roof and said “goodbye old girl” and that’s the sad story of how I came to own the g60. It’s had all of the rear tub and new rear turrets welded too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
