Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a swift GTi in the coming months for a daily. I just want to know if there is anything in particular I should be looking for or any common problems. Looking anywhere between Melbourne and Adelaide, as i'm located in the middle of both lol. Cheers, Alex |

Gearbox. Flogged crank keyway. Hunting can indicate TPS issues. Prob lots more. |

^^^^ pretty much sums it up except the hunting can be the CSV also which is an easy fix Have a look on redlinegti.com They're a very zippy car even in stock form....great on fuel and the engines can take an absolute flogging I'd suggest you do a compression test before you buy one though

Thanks guys. Are these cars prone to rust in certain spots?? I'd love to perform a compression test on a car before I buy it but I dont think that's realistic for me to do. I had a SOHC in Sydney and the thing hammered. I gave it an absolute flogging before it ran outta rego and I drove the sierra on it...OOPS. I want a DOHC one though. I seen one on carsales that had all the jazz/bling; rims, tint, head-deck....but bit wary of something like that cos it basically sounds like FLOGGED. |

When I wrecked a 95 GTI, there was plenty of rust behind the tail lights. That was about all I can remember in terms of rust. Just to help back up Masters fuel consumption claim, In my GTI sierra I average 8.5-9 L/100km. thats over about 5 tanks of fuel in varying driving conditions. Matt |
