1994 Volkswagen GTI 8V review from UK and Ireland
"Spend your money and get a nice example!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
HT coil.
Suspension is rather hard at the rear.
Water leak, which I don't know where or how this has happened.
Sunroof doesn't work (runners) and seals.
Water pump.
General comments?
Generally has nice performance, still can get between 30 - 35 MPG.
Handles nice when really giving it the beans, despite my rear suspension is rather hard.
It has a bit of a slow take off, but when you get it going, it does go some. Just watch the speed because the engine is quiet.
The engine is still very strong and the gearbox is still fine.
