Description
For sale as the GF ended up learning auto only and we would struggle to get reasonable insurance for a new driver, and for financial reasons need to move to a one car household.
This 2. 0 petrol TFSI VRS was registered in August 2009.
Do not come expecting a car with zero cosmetic issues, it is old.
The car is in Royston, North Herts.
Revo remapped stage 2 (mentioned on service print outs, but I have no dyno, no other proof) 2. 0 TFSI.
Previous insurance docs in history file mention 230bhp, but to be honest, maybe they wrote that down for insurance eyes, but it's higher. I simply don't know and have nothing to compare it against. My insurance accepted that figure.
When I spoke to revo and listed the modifications, they said it was good for 240 -270ps depending on fuel quality.
I recently got a new clutch fitted by Quattro Tech Cambridge. They said it was remapped, but that is all I have 'proof' wise, that and the print out from Volkscraft.
PLEASE GET A QUOTE ON INSURANCE BEFORE YOU TRAVEL.
Modifications advertised by dealer when I bought it:
Sachs clutch.
Uprated bottom engine mount.
Audi TTRS short shifter.
ITG Maxogen Carbon Fibre Air Intake (has just had new filter).
Whiteline rear anti roll bar.
Whiteline anti lift kit.
Brakes R32 Front and rear callipers.
I am not a modified car tinkerer, I am unlikely to be able to answer any super technical questions. I just wanted a fast estate that could also carry a load to the tip, and that's exactly what it has been. A great all rounder. I'm 48, I enjoy the performance, but I have not been going around corners sideways.
OUTSTANDING SERVICE HISTORY. 14 stamps in book, with paperwork to back up.
Last service 09/ 05/ 24. Over £15k spent on maintaining and repairing this car over the years. Big file - obviously previously owned by fastidious people, not boy racers. Full service print out from Volkscraft 2009-2017 and plenty of paperwork since. Old mots. Printouts with card receipts. Includes timing chain and tensioners.
Took off private plate V123 VRS, available for extra £300 should be puzzled by gov mot checker.
LESS THAN ONE YEAR OLD SACHS HELIX CLUTCH and Sachs Flywheel fitted at over £1500. A big thanks to the dealership who sold me the car saying the clutch was fine and supposed to feel like that (receipt to prove new one, Quattro Tech Cambridge)
JUST REFURBISHED ALLOYS, dripped, stripped, scratch repaired and resprayed by Ansell Alloys of Nuthampstead. Perfect.
Bodywork straight, recent professional repair rear quarter offside bumper, some idiot reversed into a bollard. All reversing sensors working, but he still did it.
Tow bar fitted by previous owner, I've never towed.
No engine lights. No timing chain rattle. Interior clean. Seats good, no rips, stains.
Two new mid-range tyres front.
Sounds great, but no cheesy pops or bangs. Exhaust is a nice, not something likely to bother the neighbours.
Next MOT 13 October 2025. Advisories CV boot and 2 new tyres have been done. Left corroded front springs. Aren't they all, and I have to draw a line under this car.
Bad news - small rust patches beginning on sills both sides behind front wheels.
Usual stone chips and minor paintwork issues standard with a car registered in 2009. Window tint plastic has a tiny rip on rear window where a load has scratched it.
Previous owner put sill tape on one rear side, as you get in, and I am having a nightmare getting it off.
Car has been cleaned by me but not machine polished or pro valeted, I have had to stop spending money on it I am unlikely to see back.
I really don't think I am wasting your time with this car, I have been very honest, prob far more honest than a dealer would ever be. Please ring or email with any questions.
I've made an excel doc on everything spent on the car I have paperwork for. Feel free to ask for that, I can email it to you. Excellent service history. Swift, practical. Long MOT.
