Hello, so as you may have guessed from my last post I am looking at buying a G40 again, it's been a long time since I have been about and I don't know if anyone will remember me much, I still know some of you guys :-)
If you don't know who I am I used to own a G40 in early 2000's think between 2000-2005. My car was a Tornado red Saloon CL converted to a G40. It used to run 175BHP with 170 ft/lbs on standard engine/injectors and a Jabba sport 65mm chip! which seems mad but it worked. it was a solid engine I loved it! (had other mods but won't list them here)
Anyway in 2005 someone pulled out infront of me and I couldn't avoid a collision and ended up writing the car off :-( sold the engine and that was that.
I have had many golfs since, MK3 VR6, MK5 TSI, Mk6 GT TDI, 09 Polo 1.2 (i know what the hell!) and back to a Golf MK5 TSI (which i resurrected from a nasty timing chain failure) photo's are interesting as the pistons are in pieces!
So now my wife Helen has a new job we need a new car and she suggested I bought a G40 (I have a great wife). So here I am a day later and about to buy another G40 and I am like a kid at christmas.
One thing I cannot wait for is the simple engine diagnoses! these bloody TSI engines just have too much going on with them and I have rebuilt the entire thing but still have a couple of boost issues, just frustrating.
So 13 years in 5 minutes :-)
Hope to meet the ppl I knew pretty well so many years ago and meet some of the new ppl as well!
