Sounds like you have a bargain there mate. You get to a time where things might detoriate quickly and lots of=20 things will go at once, but generally it's worth spending on them, even=20 for "An Old", "High Mileage" car like your, which really is neither. It=20 will never actually be worth what it will cost in work, but it will be=20 worth it to you as it will keep going just the same. You maybe lucky as a VW mechanic, he may have kept nicely on top of wear=20 and tear. My T16S was =A3325 which is an absolute bargain, because it was starting=20 to look a little bodily shabby. It has now cost me all in about =A31500- 1800 including buying the car. Not bad seeing as I've put 12k miles on=20 an 18year old car that was already past 100,000 (now at 132k). Apart from balljoints and wheel bearings and 1 warped disc, and a=20 seizing caliper, most of the other stuff has been piece of mind. The=20 shocks past one MOT, and would ahve passed another, but I'm sure they=20 were getting more gummed up. I changed the other disc and caliper for=20 balance, and was advised to have the camchain tensioner updated to a=20 newer style one (by a different indy to the one I now use), so did the=20 chain while I was at it (Wrexham/Chester indy garage that is very good=20 with loan cars). You are going to like this car. I can see that you are already hooked. --=20 The poster formerly known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
