I've got a 2002 Golf GT TDi 150 lined up and hopefully buying on Sat. It's done 151,000 miles.
Does anybody have any advice on anything to look out for fault wise? I'm taking my friend who is a MOT tester with me but would like to know any common faults on this car I should be looking out for.
Cheers,
Mike

Just found that Golf on Google Maps Street View at the dealers address (http://"http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=&vps=3&jsv=194b&sll=53.796175,-1.710193&sspn=0.000389,0.001156&ie=UTF8&geocode=FU_dNAMdj-fl_w&split=0") :undecided:
It looks like dodgey dealings in a rough area to me :huh:
Whats the chances of typing in the dealers address for directions and finding the same make and model of car in the same colour and with the same wheels parked further down the street

Managed to get a clearer picture of the reg on Google by going down the street a bit and then zooming in and it seems the one on the map is a 52 plate and the one for sale is a 02

!! Do you want to do digital forensics! lol
The pictures from Google street are not current. If that is the same car I would guess its been on that forecourt a while.

It wasn't on the forecourt it was further down the street but it turns out half the cars down there are Golfs
It drove fine and was great to drive but something was blatantly very wrong as soon as I opened the bonnet, there was black oil splattered absolutely everywhere. The sponge on the bottom of the plastic engine cover was just drenched in the stuff. He tried telling me that oil had been split toping it up but this was dirty oil not clean stuff out of the bottle and there was so much of it. A lot of it was dried on the pipes and looked like it had been there for some time. I think something has gone wrong and they've patched it up but haven't done a very good job of cleaning it up.
The area was packed with boy racers and I couldn't get over the number of Golfs. I hope never to return to Bradistan.
