Hi Guys !
Here's a couple of things about "The Boat".
Well, I bought my B. in november 2007. I got it for 3600EUR, It's from 08/98, has 57.000Km and first thing service !!! And trobles started to come.
This is what I put in it: New Tires (380EUR -work included), Spark Plugs, CAM belt Kit (all the belts I changed them), water pum, thermostat, engine coolant, oil filter, sport air filter, fuel filter, oil, gearbox oil, brake pump, some axial joints, + wheels allignment and it costed me 1200EUR(Total with tires). (and maybee some other small things which I don't remember right now)
I still need to change left CV Joint because I have a knocking at low speed when turning.
The car has also like diesel sound for a few secods when starting and the engine is cold (i think it' the variator going 2 hell) - Please Advice
The fuel consumption a little high !!!!! I got it at 12,8liters / 100km in mixed driving sportive and "grandma style" and mostly inside town.
Plus that there feels like a little low power at below 2000RPM, and a little lazzy below that range.
The air intake had a crack and the engine was not idl-ing properly, but the guys from service just sealed it with some duck-tape!!! i don't know how good this solution is.
Well, not to mention the airbag light is on, the door windows are not aligned too good, the window mecanism I have to grease it, I need to put an alarm on the car, make copy for the only key I have, the rear "window" it's a pice of.... I barely can see trough it, I would like to go 4 a new hood, but $$$$$$ becomes an issue whe every month you have to put more money for the car then 4 yourself.
I like the car but somedays i really hate it. I'm waiting 4 the good wheather to try it with the top down.
Untill then,
Cheers!
