Please dont spend too much buying new VW parts in Brisbane...(diplomaticaly speaking)....

KMJ at Sumner Park has a few Mk3's ph. 3279 4101
Imparts at Eagle Farm for your new parts and consumables..for example..
Water pump for my mk3...Dealer=$350-$400
Imparts= $45...
I dont have Imparts number on hand, but you can look it up.

GL Golfs are great to work on, best thing is when something is slightly stuffed they still run pretty well. Pretty hard to kill. Good Luck..
