yes had it checked out it was cat d when it was brand new, insurance paid out half the cars value and the car back, its priced accordingly in the deal, it still doooks at £5500 or so even bein a cat d which i was surprised at must be the low miles...

anyone free to come with me if @Tufty cant with vagcom and check it out il of course pay for the time, pick you up and leave you home, cheers.
Ah did you have to pay for the above check then? I clicked on @Coog link and couldn't see the cat d bit myself :confounded:.

At least you might get a few ££ more off the price now :grinning:

It's mentioned in the advert text.

Thats plan after MOT. RR'd and if not then Autotune will :party:

You can log MAF readings on VCDS to get a rough idea of the bhp. It won't be totally accurate but you should know if it's been mapped or not.

Divide the g/s value by 0.8, or multiply is by 1.25. Both give the same result :grinning:

That actually answers my question anyway, a friend just picked up a silver one and I was wondering if it was this one
Is he from Lisburn I'd say he's not had it long it's never been registered her it was just mot's here for the first time this morning

You'll be able to get a vague idea with any code reader as it will normally show a camshaft position sensor fault when the chains on on their way out. Pretty sure the only way to find out by sure its by using the measuring blocks on vagcom to check the chain deviation figures.

To test the timing chains often only the values in VCDS blocks 208 & 209 are deemed relevant. However, this is misleading for correct diagnosis of guide/chain wear and possibly other components.

Therefore, ALWAYS reference blocks 90 & 91 when checking blocks 208 & 209. This then basically references the cam to crank timing via the intermediate shaft by correlation of the crank sensor to the cam phase sensors.


• The timing chains values in blocks 90,91, 208 & 209 must always be read when the engine is warm. Measurements must always be taken at a minimum of about 60°C operating/oil temperature or higher, otherwise the cam adjustment is not yet fully active.

• Measurements are always taken at idle

Valid for both MK4 and MK5 R32:
• Blocks 208 & 209 should be as close as possible to 0°, the spread should not exceed 3°
. The absolute wear limit is 8° spread whether + or minus. If the spread is well above 3° but under the limit, then chain & guide replacement should be considered.

Cross examination of the intermediate shaft values of blocks 90 & 91:

Golf 4 R32 only (intake adjustment range 52°/exhaust adjustment range 22°):
• Block 90 (exhaust) set-point is 0°, no matter the values in blocks 208 & 209, at a duty ratio of about 15.3%. The actual value should not be more than 0.5° out (Valid for both OEM & aftermarket cams). If the values are way off from 0° the timing chain may be mistimed or skipped. Around 11.25° deviation corresponds to a skip of 1 tooth.
• Block 91 (intake) set-point is 22° between idle to about 1200RPM, no matter what the values read in blocks 208 & 209, at a duty ratio of about 15.3%.
The actual value should not be more than 0.5° out (valid for both OEM & aftermarket cams). If the value is not close to 22° the timing chain may be mistimed or skipped. Around 11.25 ° deviation corresponds to a skip of 1 tooth.

No looks like it's had a complete new quarter panel the rear window would need to come out to do it right the rust is right through he reckoned it would be OK with a good buff ****in jesus, seems a nice enough guy he's either very good at acting dumb or generally hasn't got a clue but knowing me it will be in the driveway by Sunday

Id say something of that caliber would be very hard to shift being a cat D and the bits you've mentioned? Not a car I know anything about but its not something people would buy without hpi'ing and fully checking out etc, maybe worth holding out for another one?
