Description
2005 Volkswagen Golf GTi 2.0 MK5
HIGHLIGHTS:
A defining hot hatch of the 2000s, the Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk5 marked the return of the GTI to true enthusiast form. Blending turbocharged performance, everyday practicality, and sharp European handling, the Mk5 GTI quickly earned its reputation as one of the most engaging and well-balanced hot hatches of its era.
Presented here is a 2005 Volkswagen Golf GTI showing 159,989 kms. This example features a full leather interior paired with a multifunction steering wheel, sunroof, sports alloy wheels, and subtle performance-inspired styling including a carbon fibre front spoiler and rear diffuser. An upgraded downpipe has also been fitted, giving the car improved throttle response and a deeper, sportier exhaust note.
Over the past three years, extensive maintenance has been carried out including gearbox and transmission servicing, new front and rear brake discs and pads, steering and ignition components, refurbished headlights with new bulbs and wiring, replacement of the air-conditioning display, and a full engine service with all fluids, spark plugs and filters changed. Due to the aftermarket downpipe, the engine warning light appears in Sport mode and can be resolved either by returning the exhaust to standard or completing a Stage 1 ECU tune. The wheels would benefit from refurbishment with new tyres, the stereo display is sun-damaged though functional, the driver’s door electric lock mechanism is not working, and the rear number plate lights require replacement.
Offered through JTCars, this vehicle is presented with detailed listing information to assist prospective buyers in evaluating the car clearly.
