Not a bad find and looks to be in rather good shape! If you found it for under a thousand and only have cold start problems (nothing unusual, eh), you didn't do too bad. Only major thing I see that's not original is the gas cap... Very nice Cabriolet (or in this case, Golf!)!

Seems you found a fur-faced hitchhiker, though...

Re: Hey New Cabby OWNER!!! (dandydanny)

Nice ride. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif The dealer quoted you $345 for a cold start valve?

If so, that's insane. GPR sells them for around $115.

Pick up a Bentley repair manual for the car. It's well worth the money and can help you troubleshoot your cold start issue.

Re: Hey New Cabby OWNER!!! (Colombian ******)

i was thinking about lowering it and putting some deep dish wheels any suggestions?

Check for vac leaks first..............
Nice find, even for a Canadian version

THANK YOU !!! i did check all the vacum lines and also sprayed engine start all over the engine and it didnt change the idle.

Re: Hey New Cabby OWNER!!! (SpoolinJetta18T)

Cute passenger.

FYI: Your car used to have "Azur" foil inscriptions on the rear quarter panels. It was a Canadian-only model (special paint, interior, Helios-painted Avus wheels, and the inscriptions).
Looks to be in good shape. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

 

[SpoolinJetta18T]

Re: Hey New Cabby OWNER!!! (kamzcab86)

does that means i have like a rare cabby?

 

[kamzcab86]

Re: Hey New Cabby OWNER!!! (SpoolinJetta18T)

Yes http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

; but since it's missing it's inscriptions (re-spray?) it's no longer 100% original (and it originally came with a dark blue top).

 

[SpoolinJetta18T]

Re: Hey New Cabby OWNER!!! (kamzcab86)

i think the top was replaced but the cover is dark blue.....
