Hello all
I currently drive a MK7 2.0 TDI Golf. I want to sell this and get something older/higher mileage to raise some cash and I'm looking for suggestions. I'm looking for something that fits the below criteria as best as possible but, there is wiggle room -... Read more
Why on earth did a mere 7yr old Golf with such a tiny mileage need 'a brand new timing kit'??
