12/14/2022 0 Comments Mk4 gti for sale![]() The only complain i have is the electronic part of the car which is the tail lights / brake lights which i had blown maybe less than 10 times over 17 yrs. Even my remote car key battery still intact and working never replaced and its already 2020. The original paint from 2003 still looks great and shiny with no signs defects overtime. Sometimes its a little sticky but GTI's have these on most of em. Still have my original clutch that shifts with no slides for 17 yrs. ![]() This car is awesome to drive as my daily and very reliable as you can see after 17 yrs of driving i still have this car up and running with just regular maintenance and some parts that was expected to brake and replaced. Bought my Emola Yellow GTI 20th anniversary brand new on 2003 with 7 miles right out of the dealership's door. I live in Maryland which we have 4 seasons to deal with every year. Considering the age of the car, within the next few years, the only ones still on the road will be those cared for in the way described above. If any "performance" parts were added, run away quickly. If prior owners have not cared for the car the way I described (this is the case with most owners trying to sell this car), you do not want to inherit problems they created. If you're considering buying a 2004 Volkswagen, now that it's well over 15 years old, I suggest you pass. Above all, don't let others driver your car. Refresh the suspension with factory components or components better than factory, but perform like factory - not performance parts. Replace belts, hoses, spark plugs, plastic cooling system components. Routinely change all of your filters: oil, air, cabin air, fuel, etc. Always do oil changes on time and use the factory recommended 5W 40 synthetic oil. Always put the recommended high octane gasoline in the tank. ![]() Do not add "performance" parts - most are junk! Don't be cheap. The key to keeping this car on the road is simple - always do all recommended maintenance when it's recommended and always use OEM or better than factory parts that perform like OEM. Original owner and only driver of a 2004 GTI VR6.
