When the R32 was introduced for the 2004 model year it was only available in a manual transmission. When reintroduced in 2008 the R32 was only available in a DSG automatic. Volkswagen found that this only was appealing to some of their enthusiast driving base each time. Now for the Golf R, Volkswagen has reevaluated things and is offering the hatchback in both a manual transmission or an automatic DSG which will appeal to a much larger client base.
If you are under 55 years of age then the VW Golf has been a part of your driving life: If you haven't owned or driven at least one variant then barely a day can go by without you having seen one on the road. In deed with the takeover over Skoda and SEAT it is difficult to believe that you don't see a vehicle containing Golf parts every day.
Many of us started out our driving lives in a VW Golf. They were fun and reliable but even a quality car will need replacement parts and spares at some stage in its life. The search for parts can be time consuming, calling main dealers [gasping at the quoted price as often as not] and traipsing round the scrap yards [if you can get there if the car is laid up] and as time goes on the classic Volkswagen parts supply will be dwindling. With scarcity of supply goes a rise in price - so if you need Golf parts or spares at a reasonable price you may need help searching for them.
Getting a search done at up to 250 breakers and scrap yards at one go could greatly improve your chances of sourcing that quality used VW engine or the body parts you need. It will probably save you a great deal of time and money. Let us help your search for cheap car spares. Cheap scrap car parts could help your Golf stay on the road at a reasonable price.
