Just a quick post to say Hi. I have had a polo gti from new for 15 years, thought it was about time I joined. Black 3 door with 112000 miles. Try to post some pics.

Agreed. Some can last the lifetime of the car
Re: New member
So how do you do that, besides checking/replacing the gear shifter linkage seal and driving it like it is a SDI?

As above, 155,000 miles on the original box and clutch
The release bearing is noisy though

It's had 2 gearbox rebuilds, one at 52000 and one at just over 100000. It has a 13 year VW service history and last 2 years by the garage that rebuilt the gearbox twice. It has had money spent on it and I would like to think it's been well looked after.
