7.498 -> This generation Golf, the 6th,
is essentially a facelifted Golf 5.
15.84 -> Important dimensions like
doors stayed the same,
20.398 -> but it got a technical update.
It doesn't matter for the story.
26.794 -> It's everybody's friend: a lot of engines
available and different body styles.

5- and 3-doors hatchback like this one.

8,000 Golfs in total.

102.98 -> 1/3 of the Golf 6s on AutoScout is
a diesel, 1/4 has an automatic gearbox.

There's only a few, like the Golf R.

the faster editions.
119.067 -> 5% of the cars is a Golf GTi or Golf R,
for the sporty types amongst you.

in certain circumstances.
178.55 -> These are expensive fixes.
181.848 -> Then there's the chain tensioners,
184.419 -> which make sure the engine
components run in sync.
189.981 -> The chains and tensioners
aren't sturdy enough,
195.058 -> which leads to engine damage
when things go wrong.
198.463 -> The TSI engines have chains: the 1.2, 1,4
and 2-liter TSI of the Golf GTi and Golf R.
206.029 -> Especially the TSIs with twinchargers,
the stronger 1.4 with 158 hp or more.
214.287 -> These suffer from it the most.
216.109 -> You want to have these chains /
tensioners replaced or fixed.
225.349 -> The newer 1.2 TSI had a recall.
Ask if that's been met.
