VW GOLF 2.8 VR6 AUTO IN METALIC PURPLE

OVERVIEW

This is VW Golf VR6 is in excellent working order and is the metalic purple finish variant and has low miles at 114k as there would be little stress at this mileage on a 2.8 V6 engine - if it has been maintained properly - like this one.  There is a stack of receipts and a FSH book.  This is a VR6 in excellent running order.  It is fantastic to drive.  Immense power for a small car.  In literally runs without no mechanical faults, fires up instantly and has no problems what-so-ever and is supported by an all clear HPI certificate.
 

The engine idles perfectly at 750 RPM and the power is ferocious - and the engine runs quietly when idling.  The handbrake is good as are the brakes (like new) and all other components.  All of the essentials work perfectly, i.e., heaters, fluids are fine etc.  The interior is is in very good condition iso very comfortable sports seats with an excellent automatic (and faultless) gear box.  The heating system runs perfectly and heat things up rapidly.  Body wise - there is next to no rust and just a few small bubbling areas and a few small marks - overall the exterior is good.


Overall this VR6 has been highly maintained and has receipts to support this and a quite a lot of old mot’s to also verify the mileage.  In short this is a perfectly working, mechanically maintained, very comfortable and very reliable automatic model that looks set to have a long life ahead of it – and these automatic versions are very rare.

THE DRIVE

As most people know, Golf VR6’s are excellent to drive and this one is no different.  It begs to be pushed and roars when pushed – but also trundles along nicely at lows speeds.  It is a flier on the motorway – giving very confident driving with high levels of comfort.  The automatic gearbox shifts up and down very quickly and is easy to drive and very relaxing - esp with the power available.  There are no squeals on full lock or any unwanted sounds – it drives perfectly well.  The auto box is perfect. 

The revs idle at around 800 and is has no unwanted tapet sounds or poor engine signs.  The engine and exhaust rumbles and sounds very meaty.  There are also numerous receipts for work carried out. 
Everything feels very solid.  There are also no leaks nor unwanted residue.  Everything is as it should be.  This rare automatic model can be driven with absolute confidence - and even I was surprised by how well it drives as I know that they can be driven and abused - but this one feels tip top!
