All of the above, just had my cambelt and water pump done a month or so ago... on 64k miles/4years. Not worth the worry if it goes pop

Where did you find your car?

I'm currently looking for a Black GTI DSG and am using the following on a daily basis, but struggling to find what I'm after...

Autotrader
Pistonheads
Ebay
Parkers
Vcars
VW Used car Locator

Any more suggestions?

E&M?  Personnally didn't like the website as it's a right PITA to use when I was looking.

As said. If the cambelt hasn't been done then tut tut to the previouse owner. Make sure you get it done ASAP.

It's 4 years or 60k. Don't bother taking it to VW as they will flece you on price. Do you know of any good independant VAG specialists in you area?
