This is just sat on my drive doing nothing after getting a Golf TDI as a company car - it's an R reg 2.0l SE with a Maptun stage 1 ecu (so over 200 bhp and big torque!) plus an aero turbo with matching air intake so there is power all the way to the redline rather than running out of puff at about 4000rpm like most 2.0l lpt Saabs. It's done 165,000k but it's been run on expensive Silcolene Pro S Ester based synthetic oil for the past 50K miles or so so the engine is silky smooth with no cam chain rattle at all after initial start up. Rare ish 17 inch alloys with 4 almost new matched tyres (bridgestones of some description - perfectly adequate for everyday driving but not exactly a sports tyre), MOT'd till the middle of december and the suspension has the important parts polybushed - currently sorn'd but still on one of my insurance policy's so taxing it isn't an issue. Black with cloth seats and walnut dash trim, a tow bar and a HUGE history file.........

Bad points? probably needs a new battery because the air con is showing an error message consistent with a failing battery and the SID keeps forgetting the time and date - again a symptom of a knackered battery - air con need regassing - there is a slight leak to one of the coolant pipes near the header tank which I've never quite identified but it only seems to slightly leak coolant rather than cause any kind of overheating issues and that's about it....... I'd quite happily drive it anywhere tbh and if it wasn't for the company car I would be doing!

Would make a great donor if you're thinking of a CEC turbo but you could just drive it round for a bit (35mpg on a decent motorway run - city driving low to mid 20's) then rip the engine out if that's what you wanted

£700 - or £800 taxed - it's a lot of car/engine for the money so any offers would have to be extremely close to the asking price

The car is in Wigan and I'll wash it and get some photos if there's any interest
