Bought this today as my new daily driver.Needs an MOT most major fail was the front subframe so need to drop that out  Its a 1.8 20v Turbo so Quite nippy but i'll be getting it remaped when its on the road. Pretty chuffed with it for £250  Uploaded with ImageShack.us  Uploaded with ImageShack.us |

Depending what the problem is the subframe shouldn't be too hard a job. What else did it fail on?________________________________________ Bye bye Sundance Kid |

Its on Coilovers , Lowered by alot  The subframe has cracks in it, Havent had it up to have a look yet but I'm sure its from running low and meeting something like a speed bump. Failed on a few other bits like rear wheel bearing and a couple of bushes up front. Nothing a bit of time and hopefully not too much cash will sort out |

Sounds like a cheap enough fix  Quite like Audi Avants if i may say so myself, we had an A6 Avant 2.0TDi 170 on a 60 plate in work  ________________________________________ Bye bye Sundance Kid |

Feeling the wagon love. My daily dog carrier is a 1.8t passat wagon - they're not bad cars. ________________________________________ Skoda Owner ... what am I doing here? |
