    I'm not THAT surprised they had MK4 parts in a MK2 CE2 shell, there are wiring guides on ClubGTI to do this, and the CE2 fusebox lends itself well. I had a MK4 PD15 in a MK2, and used Mk3 clocks in that and a MK4 drive by wire pedal.

    Erm, Ive got a PP 7.5 and for me its not a hot hatch, at least not in the true sense of the word, yes its a hatchback, and it goes, but its to heavy, and not lively enough to be a hot hatch. True hot hatch is XR2, Xr3i, Citroen Saxo VTs, Clio 182, Civic Ep3 etc. Hot hatch should be light, twitchy. small and over powered, twitchy, with lift off oversteer, kart like. Golf gti is a great car dont get me wrong, but its no hot hatch.

    • @427Motorsports
      @427Motorsports 5 дней назад

      The Golf was always heavier and less lively than its contemporaries, they were more solid and arguably better built. By that logic then, there never was a hot hatch golf.

      @simongb7897 5 дней назад

      @@427Motorsports Golf Mk 1 and Mk2 16v could be considered hot hatches, it's not just about the weight its how the car handles, the feel of the car. I've got a 7.5 PP and it's a stunning car, makes the daily commute fun, it whisks you along but for me it doesn't feel like a true hothatch.

    i had between 2016 untill 2018 a 190D 2.5 non turbo. 90hp but Previous owner did something to the fuel pump i think because it was quicker then a W124 300D. It had many issues like dashboard lights that are broken, also with new lamps and new cluster, nothing. a mechanic shop replaced all 10 suspensions arms in the rear axle, 1000 dollar job. After that i got rid of it. Some guy wanted to export it to africa. Be my guest.
