Unfortunately cars don’t respond well to doing nothing for years! Apart from the Maserati I’ve an early Mk 1 Golf that my eldest daughter had as her first car that hasn’t been used for quite a few years - got started occasionally (but certainly not in last 5 years) until a few months back when it went for a bare metal respray. Since then I seem to consistently be fixing lots of minor issues - mostly electrical caused by bad earth, dry joints etc. I’m down to last few now - fuel and temperature gauge not working plus what sounds a noisy water pump.
Yeah I made the mistake yet again to not start the car for an extended period of time. The electronics take the brunt of it. My window switches dont work for days after starting the car after a long time. I need to drive at least 300-400 kms before they decide to start working! I fear bad bushings and dry joints are gonna be next on my list of worries for the car. But I'll keep at it
The Golf is looking great! I wish you all the best!
