I live in Glasgow and own a 2002 4motion. Running standard with a green cotton air filter.
Best car i have ever owned. Not the most powerful car on road by a longshot but the haldex 4 wheel drive system makes up for it. It also sounds awesome when pushed....and it doesn't look chavvy.
Doesn't really make sense to own if you are doing a lot of city driving or are a high mileage driver, can be very thirsty. But the fuel consumption aint as bad as some people make out. Car comes into its own on long A roads, especially this time of year.
On a test drive try and wheel spin the car, if you can then the haldex system needs attention.
Rest of problems are the same you will get with most Mk4 golfs...coilpacks, fan unit on the climatronic, Maf sensor etc.
Driven a 1.8T, as well as about 200 other cars, the 4motion is one of my favourites.
-
I would go for a 1.8t to be honest.
-
i Have a 1.8t but prefer the drive on the 4mo, i just couldn't afford the juice, plus i wanted to mod it.
as standard vs standard the 4mo is a better car, better specced (usually) better ride & handling, more powah, and nicer noise. oh and they look nicer too.
And no turbo lag either
-
Import a 1.9TDi 4motion and your problems are solved.
Well minus driving on the other side.
-
I would have had a 4motion if I'd had the money to run it but needed a diseasesal. It's not silly money like an R32 (although not as good) and is a really sweet motor. I would have one in a shot :cool:
-
how is the 1.8t a dog?
tuners dream in my opinion!

-
Make sure its got good service history and the Haldex oil and filter for the rear slipp diff should have been changed every 40k miles.
How much is the car you are looking at? 3 or 5 door?
-
