Volkswagen Golf, 1993, Kirkkonummi

Black trouble for the next owner!

With a little work this is a good base for a hobby project or even everyday driving. Various modifications made from exterior to audio, almost all by previous owners. Overall tidy, naturally shows age-related wear. Biggest issues shown in the photos. Underside surprisingly good as the car was not driven in winters at all between 2006 and 2023.

Body:

• Adjustable suspension kit, approved at modification inspection (would benefit from an update)

• 63.5 mm cat-back exhaust

• Front and rear bumpers, side skirts, spoiler replaced

• Eye-catching Angel Eyes headlights; housings opened in autumn and bulbs for parking, dipped and main beams replaced. Attempted to seal them as well as possible; they let in a little moisture

• Summer tyres used for one summer on alloy wheels

• Studless winter tyres used for a couple of winters on alloy wheels

• One key. Driver's door lock has its own key. Remote locking present but range is poor and needs fiddling to work

Audio:

• Sony head unit with Bluetooth/AUX

• Ground Zero 165 mm component set in front doors

• Also an older 165 mm component set with its own amplifier on the parcel shelf; these currently do not work

• Subwoofer in the boot, in the spare wheel well

Interior:

• Black leather upholstery with white accents

• Electric sunroof (works intermittently)

• Electric windows (driver's door converted to manual, left rear window does not work — mechanism broken, window propped up. It sags slightly but does not fall down completely)

• Blue LEDs in the front footwells

• Headliner starting to sag. Already replaced once with new headlining board, but still needs proper upholstery

Services/repairs:

• Oil changes at least every 15,000 km

• Serpentine belt 2023

• Starter motor 2023

• Heater/blower control panel 2023

• Distributor cap 2024

• Camshaft position sensor 2024

• Lambda (oxygen) sensor 2024

• Water pump + thermostat 2024

• Rear left wheel bearing + hub 2025

• Rear brake calipers + pads, both sides 2025

• Front lower control arms (with bushings), both sides 2025

• Front right tie-rod end 2025

Known faults:

• Front right driveshaft/CV joint failing; has leaked grease

• ABS light occasionally comes on (faulty sensor at rear right). It clears after next start-up, and brakes otherwise work normally

• Some knocking noise when driving at front left; not investigated further

• Exhaust leaks slightly in places

• Engine is oily, though barely needs topping up

• Alarm system erratic; occasionally arms itself after driving and starts sounding when a door is opened

• Cosmetic defects mentioned above and shown in photos

I am selling the car because I lack the motivation and time to fix small faults and keep the car in the condition it deserves. This will still give the next owner a lot of fun for a long time with a bit of tinkering.
