Looking to sell my 1997 Phase 2 306 GTi 6 in Nile Blue. From what I can gather this is one of the earliest Phase 2 GTi's made, not sure if that makes it any rarer but a nice bit of useless info nonetheless!
Have owned this car since February 2014. Previous owner gave me a whole stack of history going back to 2000, including MOTs, invoices for services, parts etc. I used it for mostly commuting and motorway miles until summer 2016, at which point it failed an MOT on a growing number of strange electrical faults and rather than spend the time and money sorting it, I bought a new car for commuting to work and put the car under the care of my former housemate (who's a mechanical engineer with far more spannering knowledge than I). He set to work getting it back on the road and fixed the electrical gremlins (caused by a cluster of dodgy wiring behind a cracked bumper) as well as giving it a general going over. He annoyingly didn't keep receipts for a lot of the parts he bought and fitted, but gave me a list of what's been done between 2018 and this year when he made another big push to get it in a state to be sold.
Work done spring-summer 2018:
- New brake discs and pads all roun
- Front calipers rebuilt
- Oil change, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter
- New cat back exhaust (standard)
- New catalytic converter
- New anti roll bar links
- New front wishbone bushes
- Alpine motorised flip front tape stereo with mp3 aux in (adapted to work with steering controls)
- Replacement front door speakers
- New front fog lights
- Pressed license plates
- Brake fluid replaced
- New Toyo Proxes tyres on front, new tyres on rear but can't remember the brand
- Replacement seat cover for worn driver's bolster.
- New cambelt and water pump.
Work done summer-autumn 2020:
- New cylinder head and head gasket to stop the usual engine tap.
- Sanding down and repainting of roof due to lacquer peel.
- New Lambda Sensor.
Everything now works bar the A/C, and had an MOT done in August. Mileage is ~125,000. Car is in Southampton (still with the same guy since I moved to Bristol this year, I shall put you in touch with him for viewings if interested), and price is £2200 ONO.
