2001 Volkswagen Golf GTI Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"Good while it's working, but costly when goes wrong (very often)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lost power so resulted in changing 1st coil and then after 2months same problem and had to change the other 3.
Dashboard lights blinking on/off.
Computer light on/off when going over speed bumps.
Electrics melted in result melted my fuse box to a little ball.
Turbo now on its way out!!!
General comments?
The car was good when it worked properly.
It looks good, but expensive to fix.
Wanted one when I passed my test, but don't think it's worth it now.
