I have a 1.8t 180 octavia vrs. Since I've had it (10) years it has been unhappy on hard acceleration pretty much since I got it and the previous owner mentioned the same. Over the years it's had coolant sensors, maf and map sensors, turbo and has been checked for boost leaks and vac leaks. It doesn't burn oil or use water and sounds sweet. Any ideas anyone. A lad I know reckons his did the same and a set of plugs cured it. Mine has had new plugs and coils. Could it still be a plug issue I wonder 🤔. Thoughts anyone ?
@james011974 I have read that these engines are quite fussy with spark plugs. My other 1.8T can be a little temperamental, juddering etc. I will be replacing the plugs on that soon.
Whether cars or guitars, you always manage to find some amazing deals. I never get lucky like that. Good luck fixing 'er up.
Just gotta be looking
Ohh yeah. Good little family of golf’s you got going Rob! 😎
Ooh yeah the MK4 Squad is getting strong 🤣 can't wait till my next day off to find out the issue with the coolant leak!
I agree I like the 3 over the 5 d
Definitely suits the shape 👌
Tidy purchase man👌🇩🇪
Thanks, should be a cool fun project
Have you thought about the V5 or V6 engine variants?
Oh yes would love one of them, but the price of fuel to run them is a different story 😔
It was nice of the previous owner to give it a wash up before the sale!!🙄😹😹😹
Standard 🤣
@@meatmanifesto 😹
Nice !!!!!! I wish they were in US. Need one shipped. I'll send you a classic vibe 60s lmao 😅hahahahahahahaj
They are available in the USA I've seen a lot of UA-camrs with them, maybe called the GLI or something there? Your CV wouldn't cut the mustard 🤣

@@meatmanifesto I did yes.
