Boxfresh VR6 0 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hi,Im looking to buy 1992 Golf VR6, full service history, new timing chains, and everything else seems spot on, however i heard that the early models have an unreliable engine. Is there anyone that could tell me if this is right?CheersQ Link to post Share on other sites

Boxfresh VR6 0 Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Do you reckon £1350 is a good price for a 1992 Red Golf VR6, full service history 114,000 miles, mint interior and mint exterior but with a gap between the boot door and the car big enough to fit two fingers, suggesting it may have been rear shunted at some point?
