2001 golf

Hello,
Karina has a nice golf 2001 2L metallic black with bogan wheels and a nice 60LF01 QLD number plate. However the 3rd cylinder has plug fowling issues. It is a oil burning problem so probably needs a top end rebuild. I probably could do it I did a top end rebuild on the road king with good success and no oil leaks. Has anyone on the forum worked on golfs? This is a sad situation as karina only has done 5000 kms on the car and the oil burning issue saw noticed 2 weeks after she purchased it. I should have paid for a good inspection I guess and the car was quite expensive. Anyway any advice would be good and if anybody knows of a reputable golf mechanic in brisbane that would be great.

cant help with a mechanic but to make you feel better an NRMA inspection would not have helped as they dont do any motor checks besides "the sump is cracked and leaking"

i would go check out vwwatercooled.org.au they should be able to help you out. lots of golf owners on that site.

Good idea, will have a look at that site.Thank you - tom
