Nope, not 1.8. They definately did a 2.0 16v mate.
1.8 16v (KR)
1.8 8v supercharged (the g60)
2.0 16v (9A I believe)
2.0 8v (Don't even bother, it's quicker walking)
2.9 12v (vr6)
The Corrado is an entirely different beast! I've had one of those too (2.0 16v not VR6) I loved my Corrado, out of the box it was great and with some FK automotive coilovers it was awesome.
Here's my old Golf
And here's my old Corrado
I've had a VR6, but never a 172.
The VR6 isn't a great car at all. It makes a fantastic noise, but 174bhp from a 2.8 just ins't acceptable! Also, in standard form the handling isn't all that good.
I'd steer clear personally, get a 172 and have some fun!
My GTi-6 was done by them (before I bought it, i'm not that stupid). I had exactly the same issue, very juddery pulling off. I took it to them to sort out as it was still under warrenty. They changed it again, it was juddering again a week later. I decided to do it myself the second time.

Yeah but there were only ever 70 UR R27's, what's the chances of 2 ending up within a couple of miles of each other.
I'm gonna trash it, get the thing written off! :p
My god, I can't believe how much insurance has increased in the 12 years i've been driving.
I've never paid more than about £800 per year for insurance, and that was when I was 20 driving a golf VR6. At 21 I had a Punto GT with lots of mods (all declared) and was paying sub £400 per year!
So...
If you don't know what it has had previously, id be looking at doing the following

Oil Filter
Air Filter

It depends what you have history for really, but fo the sake of a few quid i'd rather 'over-do' it than risk it not being tip-top

It's got to be the N64, and Goldeneye in multi player mode. Does life get any better than this?
I actually bought one off ebay last year for £15 specifically to play Goldeneye! (it's in the loft now though lol)
Do people even use sponges anymore?! Get yourself a microfibre or wool wash mitt as this will help lift the dirt away.
Also, use the 2 bucket method. One is just clean water, one with your shampoo and water. After each panel or section of a panel rinse your mitt in the clean water which will...
Everyone will be along in a minute to tell you only to use a Valeo clutch.
Ignore them, LUK is perfectly fine and is OE equipment in some big name manufacturers.
My brother currently has a 306 Cabrio with a very silmilar problem. we've traced that to an air leak on the inlet. I started stripping it down on Saturday after trying the ICV etc and found the o-ring on the bottom of one of the injectors was split and missing a piece.
I found it was definate...
