    Ok guys I am looking at maybe purchasing 2.0 golf gle but wanted to know has anyone actually modded one? Was thinking maybe putting gti motor in it eventually or something else. Any recommendations or any build threads that can see please.

    It's an auto.

    Avoid it at all costs. The transmission will let you down, and they're an expensive repair.

    Yep, something with a DSG in it is a better bet.

    Before you go that route it might be worth having a look at the build threads of people who have done these things - once you total the initial cost of the car, then add engine/ gearbox/ loom/ ecu/ brakes/ other upgrades etc into the equation, it might be cheaper just buying a GTI or R32 stock and starting from there - unless you're intent on creating a one off.

    I just wouldn't even entertain the idea.

    You can buy a DSG R32 for $15K, and enjoy it for what it is.

    Or spend double that, trying to turn something else into one.

    That's clearly not a Mk4 though if it's DSG ...
