Volkswagen Golf Variant, 2008, Helsinki

Information about the car and possible faults: Strong 1.4 petrol manual for auction! Rust and age-related patina on the body. Technically appears good. During the test drive, there were no unnecessary knocks from the suspension. The engine felt to have good torque. The clutch is good and the gears engage smoothly. The car has been fitted with an Android multimedia display, allowing apps to be downloaded, navigation used (Google Maps, etc.), YouTube watched and Bluetooth connected by sharing an internet connection via a phone. Many other functions are also available. The car has a fixed tow bar. Comes with 2 sets of tyres; the summer tyres will only arrive at our premises in two weeks. There is rust on the car, some of which has been repaired. Rust is present, among other places, on the sills, rear wheel arches and boot. A skilled person should be able to restore it to good condition. The cruise control does not work; this has not been investigated further and could be a fuse or similar. The engine warning light is on; this has not been investigated further, but the car operates completely normally and retains full power (lambda sensor?). The air conditioning blows both cold and warm air! Rear parking sensors work well.
