pure as...

When was that taken???

Makes me wanna spray the top of my cabby white

pic was taken when we had that snow storm earlier this year.
its allwhite eh?

Oh dear lol… that was so poor it actually made me laugh  :wink:

how good are the heaters in these cars ?

not very !!
takes a gd 5-10 mins to demist during the winter months
sucks ass but on the bright side its a mk1  :wink:

My heaters are too hot! I get bloody roasting in the cabby, and it was near enough the same in my old tin-top.

I think it varies from car to car, but it's worth bleeding the cooling system through as the heater matrix tends to be where the system gets airlock = cold heaters.

BTW cool picture Rivage1991. Brrrr 8)

ahh thats not too bad then is it really i suppose and having been a biker for the last 4yrs im gratefull of anything a degree or 2 warmer than outside sat in a 90mph wind lol what are they like as a daily driver sum people have said you cant buy one and just run it like you would a modern car but im one of these people who check oil water tyre pressures etc once a week and tightning the odd nut n bolt up and oiling moving parts is just common sense and something that im used to doing with the bikes anyway ahve you had any problems with yours ? is it ya daily driver ? how long have u had it 4 ?

sounds like ya can drive rnd all year with the roof down then gav if ya heaters are cranked up eh ?

Well the heater in mine will have you sweating within five minutes with the roof down in the middle of Nov doing 70mph(ish) down the A303.
All the golfs ive had have had great heaters in them.

One idea ive had is to plumb from the ducts under the dash round to the headrest to create a windsock to heat the back of the neck but ive not had time to get to fabbing anything yet. I plan to do it soon so watch this space.

nice thats good then cos i aint gona be one o these wi the the roof down only in summer ive had a softop b4 and as far as im concerned if it aint chucking it down the roof shud be down ! hmm yeh the wind sox thingy a gud idea but how would you plumb it in without it being seen ? youd have to run the pipe inside the seats or something surely ? whats the headroom clearnce like in these ? im 6ft 2"

Ooo that sounds like a cool idea.

My heaters are bloody good too!  Only problem is even if the temp is set to hot the main vents still blow out cold air whilst the others are blowing hot!.  Simple solution, shut off the main vents and select the air to blow at screen and feet, toasty!

I already have an idea of how to hide it all away but im not gonna let all of my tricks out of the bag yet just in case someone beats me to it.

The height restriction shouldnt be much of a problem as a lot of the cabby owners on here are lofty and they dont complain.

yeh lee already researched this one apprently they all do that ! weird innit lol

Thanks Gav, it is a very cool picture for obvious reasons! lol

I use the mk1 at weekends all year round, no problems.
Well apart from having to shift snow off it (see picture) Ha ha!

gona be my only form o transport n gota be able to rely on it every morning so i can get to work ! although everyone ive spoke to have said golfs are really reliable

never had any major issues with mine and i've had a few.
Like any old car, you look after it and it will look after you.

in theory  ops:

yep mines a daily

it'll be reet
