Ok, so, randomly I might have someone who would like to buy my car leaving me the chance to buy a Turbo'd beauty.
As I didn't do enough research the last time - hence buying a 2.0 - which T's should I look at? Which years are good, which years are bad? What milage is still good?
What kind of things should I be checking for on any potential new members of the family? What kind of things go wrong?
More importantly, anyone know any for sale near Peterborough... I could be without a car pretty soon! :wink:
Thanks :)

Have a look at this guide-

if you can find a low mileage AGU (recaros!) for decent money, with enough left over to stick a k03s turbo and exhaust.. and remap obviously, you're likely to have less problems than an AUM and equal performance.
To be honest the only one i'd avoid if possible is the ARZ engine.

and there is this age old saying in the mkiv section
'The 1.8T is pretty much bullet proof'
can never resist saying that lol, but i had an AUM for 3 and a half yrs only problems i had were having to change the turbo and coolant sensor, you got guys on here with 120k on the clock remapped and running fine, check the service history, make sure the camblet and waterpump have been done apart from that its just a case of finding on thats been looked after :cool:

I got 1.8T AUM engine mines running fine at the minute coming up to the 110,000

I got an AGU with 133000 on the clock remapped and still returns 37mpg+ on a motorway run.

Could do, but if i sell it, it'll be gone this week. That all depends on if I can find a new car in time though...!
If i do go the 1.8T route, you can of course expect a phone call :wink:
