#1: going back to the gti Author: scottsgti, Location: ramsgatePosted: Thu Feb 23, 2012 10:49 am ---- recently bought a new car, but i've had the 206 up for sale now for near enough 4 months and no1 has been interested lol. seeing as i'm not willing to drop the price any lower on my pug, i've decided to sell my latest car and go back to the gti, as i've already got some1 who wants my ibiza cupra and will give me what i paid.
but the pug has been left on my drive for that whole duration, obviously its been started up, but i've been unable to take it off the drive as its sorn and not insured.
so was looking at getting it serviced as it wont be running to well, has anyone got an idea of what a major service consists of and roughly how much it'll cost? or whether it'll even need a major service, maybe just a light service?
also, any garages around the thanet area (may stray out of thanet if i hear good things) that are good, as i've been to some garages in my time and they have been shocking, and now i panic when ever my car goes to one lol
sorry for the long winded comment guys,
thanks

I wouldnt bother with it. Just get the engine nice and hot first, but be careful not to burn yourself.
