MK1 V6

[Liam@redmonkey]

Hey guys whats all your opinons on the MK1 is it looked at as not being very good, or is it just compared to the MK2?? Are they much slower than a MK2 or quicker than a 182??

Opinons??

here we go again, cue 10 page thread

mk1 V6 is good, but the build quality is nothing compared to the mk2

mk1 V6 has a pants gearbox compared to the mk2

mk1 V6 will be quicker in a stright line than a 182, but not by a massive amount

handling isn't as bad as everyone thinks

 

[Big Iain]

I want one

 

[Liam@redmonkey]

woops should of searched!

Anything to go wrong with them? ive noticed you can pick them up for 11k

 

[Fred@BTM]

if it hasn't had its major service, then you have a £1K bill straight away

gearboxs as i said are rubbish and will more than likley break, along with the coil packs (6 of, £55 each i think)

 

[Big Iain]

mk2 gearbox go on?

 

[Fred@BTM]

yep

 

[Big Iain]

mk1 V6 will be quicker in a stright line than a 182, but not by a massive amount

good enough for me it looks ten times better imo

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah until you get up close and compare a mk1 v6 to a mk2, then you won't want one

i've heard too many negative points about the Mk1's :S
