Thought id start a thread on how much my car cost me this month and what has f**ked up for meSo this April. New battery. New heater matrix along with a new wing mirror... some how a hammer knocked it  Road tax for the year A new exhaust as it decided to fall apart on the A34 on the way home i had a clicking sound coming from the dash so iv got to hunt for a new stalk Iv paid more than the car is worth this month. Happy motoring. ________________________________________ |

I've done 18k in my six over the last 12 months, and the only thing it's had is a new set of tyres.(Yes, a GTi-6 is still my daily driver... shocking I know!) edit: Oh, plus tax and insurance obviously. ________________________________________ Rich |

Why do people think it's a disaster waiting to happen, :idiots Agreed. Mine has just returned from a 3,500 mile round trip to Poland after being stood since last summer. I didn't have any reservations about it completing the trip and it was faultless. After reading some of the posts on this forum over the years I'm beginning to think I must have the most 'normal' 6 going. I genuinely don't know what else to say about it, I turn the key and it goes. 153,000 on the clock now. I guess most other people have total s**tters...  |

Spent £4 on the HDi since August for a non locking fuel cap. Although it's having an MOT in a few hours Actually made money on it by selling the Isofix bars. Was tempted to sell the crystals and fit frosted to get a bit more cash back, but I like the fact it looks like a '6 yet quicker. Threw £500 at the 205 this month. About another £1500 and it'll be on the road for June. ________________________________________  |
