Default MK1 GOLF CADDY TURBO DIESEL

Much to my disgust I’m having to sell my beloved caddy, I bought her as a wreck and resored her myself over 14 months. I put my heart and soul into this caddy, this was the one, the car I intended keeping for a long time – so I did a good job.

I had a T4 before this caddy, that was a similar story, loadsa work building THE vehicle for me, after 6 years my wife decided it was impractical because it was too big and expensive to run.

She got a new Toyota Corolla Verso and I got to ride to work in the rain for over a year.

I bought the caddy and totally sorted it and having loved it for over a year – guess what, it’s impractical, it’s too small!


Specs – the bits mentioned are either custom fabricated or new at time of build (8000 miles ago)

Engine:

Tuned 30,000mile 1.6 GTD diesel engine good for 80-120 bhp depending on where you set the boost controller. Fitted a few weeks ago

2.5” stainless downpipe

Front mount intercooler behind grille

5 Speed short GTI box

Weighted shift rod and adjustable short shift kit

New quality battery with 4 year warranty a few weeks ago.

Brand new performance aluminium rad

New cam belt less than 500 miles ago


Suspension and Brakes:

Front lowered on -35 GTI springs

Rear lowered on -85 plates – retains full suspension travel

Mk 1 GTI discs and pads

Handbrake cable

Rear shoes and one rear wheel cylinder

Modified GTI front anti roll bar – (not currently fitted and not really missed)


Interior


Custom roof lining + BMW light

GX interior with chrome trim

Good black carpet

Custom MK1 dash with crystal LEDS and RARE! diesel revcounter

Alarm and central locking

Electric windows

New windscreen

Glass rear screen

Fully carpeted/trimmed inside

Removable bespoke sub box with 10” sub/ set of component speakers and two large storage compartments.


Exterior

Chrome trim on grille/windscreen and front bumper

Remote adjust GTI door mirrors

Smoothed tailgate with lettering

Stripped to shell, rolled over and undersealed with 6 litres of shutz

New copper brakelines throughout

Cavities waxoyled

Stainless roll pan

German plates

Bike rack for three bikes with tie down points

build story here

MOT Until mid Nov
TAX until May?

She aint no show car but a few hours in the spray shop would sort that - she is a loved and used daily, everything works, ultra reliable cheap to run truck - that will also embarass GTI's and cruise at 80.

I need to get four seat for kids so if you have a PX......gotta be VW, gotta be waterchilled and ideally a mk1 golf or a later TDI - whatcha got?

The caddy is good but it's not that good (and she's looking at what I type)

I'm in North Devon, looking for around 2 I guess?, don't really know.....

She'll be on Ebay tomorrow.
