Sounds like you’ve bagged a good ‘un if it’s in as good a condition as the mileage says it should be.

If you want to leave it close to standard then just replace the rear anti-roll bar with a Rallye item. This will tighten the handling right up and stop it understeering. You can also fit GTI ventilated discs to your front brakes, which will give them a lot better fade resistance.

Both mods can be unbolted and swapped back to standard easily.

I have been using it for a week now and i am very pleased with it.

Last VW was a mint 16valve Jetta GTI, so memorys flooding back.
