Noob with MK1 vRS estate

ROI354 · 31-03-2008, 11:25

Hi all, just wanted to say hi as I've just joined after buying a mk1 octy vRS estate.

Its a black 03 plate with 55k miles. Drives lovely and looks the part as well

Its not had a cambelt done yet and is due a service as well so anyone recommend a place for me to take it?

I'm in Essex near East London.

Cheers,
Rob

Hi mate as your then end of the country Impossible Performance in Kent would be a good recommendation for you.

I know plenty of people on here use Mike at Impossible

Welcome

Just keep an eye out for rust on the tailgate

Will still be covered under warranty

davethefish · 03-04-2008, 14:01

Welcome, search for your cambelt needs, there are many threads about cambelts already.

Where specifically should I be checking for rust

Along the bottom edge or where the glass meets the panel?

Will check out Imposs perf. as well, cheers
