Volkswagen Golf 1.4 TSI 118 kW Automatic, 2012, Raisio

Information about the car and possible defects:

The car came to us as part of a trade-in. Just before the trade-in, the car illuminated the engine warning light (a picture of the fault-code reading is attached). The car reports a mechanical fault in the intake manifold charge-motion control flap. As a result, the engine warning light remains on and the car limits the engine speed to 3,000 rpm. It drives reasonably well and feels solid. Naturally, the fault mode affects the driving experience, as it cannot accelerate with the accelerator fully depressed. The previous owner reset the codes once and took the car for its inspection; it worked completely normally for a while, until the warning light came on again and caused the same fault code.

Engine replaced at 210,000 km; the receipt can be found in the attachments!

With a little work, this could still make a sensible everyday car!

Servicing and inspection:

The car was inspected on 1 October 2026, so approximately one year remains on the inspection period! A few repair advisories remained on the inspection report (the report is included in the photos).

No service book is included; service receipts are shown in the listing photos. The rear brakes were refurbished a couple of weeks ago (receipt in the photos).

Tyres and keys:

The car currently has alloy wheels with tyres in reasonable condition. There is still some time before they reach the legal tread limit.
The second set of tyres is still with the previous owner; according to them, the tyres are in acceptable condition and mounted on their own wheels. These will be sent to the buyer by post afterwards.
