would you buy a tdi without...
« on: 07 March 2008, 16:11 »
Afternoon troops.
Just seen a clean mk4 tdi auto on auto trader.
Rang the seller to get the reg so i could ring VW and find out what service it's on, bloke from VW tells me its on a long life, but they have no record of servicing it?
It's done 71k 1 owner with fsh.
would you still buy a car thats had no VW servicing?
Any thoughts?

thanks.

2002 TDI se 100bhp-ish Auto/tip Black Magic. :cool:

urm depends if the seller had receipts from other garage to prove the work done

if he has nowt then walk away; plenty of Golfs with service history, dealer in indy, about  :wink:

NEVER buy a car without service history

My tdi was owned by a bank before i got it. And had loads of service history.

Get the history. You need to know if its had a good life of oil changes and timing bet change at 60k.

Also hpi check.
Diesel power all the way
