Bought mine in March 2007. Came out of the factory with 148bhp. Still got it with 160k - like the video said regular pd oil changes and cambelts then it is bulletproof.
in terms of mods u forgot an important thing to do. Even stock form but at least from stage 1 and up, do a front mount intercooler mod, because the IAT's get very high with the stock intercooler. Darkside for example has a realy good kit. Greetings from Germany.

Any camshaft issues? What beand oil grade do you use?
Good summary👍
Ran a pd130 golf as a daily for 10 years, eye on a fabia vrs for this winter.... keep the old golfs replacement out of the salt 😁👍
Fabia vrs is now worth a lot more, to get a decent one your looking at 3-5k
