Hey guys, thinking about picking up an 09 GTI tomorrow. It's a 1 owner 70k mile car. Carfax showed some service history, but I didn't see anything regarding Chain Tensioners. How big of a deal is it? Some of the articles I've read makes it seem dire. If it is dire, do I replace the chains as well? If so, we're looking at quite a parts bill, let alone the service.
What else? Are there any other areas of concern? Thanks!   |

Plastic water pump! Man, did reading that spur a bunch of online research for me or what! Sounds like a water pump and tensioners would be in my future!
Thanks for the info guys! I really like this car, and if it pans out to be what it is represented to be I'll drive it home tomorrow! I've been carless for over a month- I sold my Mercedes GLK and paid off my house a little early. Didn't think not having a car would drive me so batty, as little as I'm at home. But it did, so looking for a cheaper, but still fun car led me to the GTI. I'm actually kinda excited, I haven't had a GTI since '94 or so! I miss the little scooter! |
