Anyone got one/had one/crashed one?

Left a deposit on a 10' plate, 33k miles went for the 170hp DSG oil burner, drove like 30 grands worth plenty of toys.. For a measly 11 grand. Pick it up on Weds bet I don't get cut up in this (plod mobile).

I had one for about a week just bought it to sell on they not a bad car to Cruize around in.

If it hasn't been changed already. Pressure sensor for the DPF will die. For a bit of plastic smaller than a matchbox is roughly £50 just for the part! All V.A.G cars with DPF suffer from this. Might also need a DPF regeneration which needs V.A.G specific equipment to do afterwards.
Alternatively get the DPF cut out and remap. Goes well after
DSG box is bullet proof. Just make sure it gets the oil and oil filter changed every 40k. Personally I still think they're the best auto box out there.

Wow; those wheels look frigging horrific.

Didn't think it would be possible to chav up a skoda, but fair play to you.

I thought they were quite tasteful :scratch: definitely could be worse.

It'd be spot on without the tints.

[J@mes]

Are these quite punchy in standard form? I think I might look at one later in the year.

Similar to Golf GT/GTi of the same age.

Same engines and chassis platform as a VW Golf. Just longer in the middle and a boot on the back.

Fronts are standard factory tint rear is only light smoke deceiving in pictures got the UV film to protect the nippers.

Now in winter guise with 18" Zeniths and Nexen Winguard Sport tyres, H&R hub centric spacers 8mm front 15mm rear. Maxton Design front splitter added oh and of course a visit to Shark Performance for remap and DSG software.

Here's some pics after a good winter wash down..
