I have had this, usually caused by stepping in a Diesel spill by the pump.

Lovely clean car, not sure about all the stickers though.

GTD

I’ve been riding for 41 years now. Bikes always first.

Leave the A/C on permanently.

Mine is now on 105,000 owned by me from new (August 2015) had DSG service, cam belt, water pump and four new tyres done last year so hoping to keep it a bit longer and get my moneys worth.

6 1/2 years later I thought I should update this thread. I still have the car and it’s now done 105000 miles. It is still completely standard and unmodified, has never had any paint, and apart from a slightly worn driver seat bolster, the odd mark, stone chip and kerbed wheels, it looks...

These is something in what you say, the Golf has a very large deep windscreen compared with a car designed 20 years ago, I’m sure it makes them more susceptible to cracking if they get hit by a stone.

What’s the advantage of fitting those?

If they are really neglected, wet wire wool works well

Have a long test drive if you’re thinking of buying an A3, I used to own one and I found it very uncomfortable on long journeys. The S line also had a very crashy ride. Personally I think the Golf is much better car.

What are looking at buying Paul?
