Title: Newbie from Bristol with a MK4 2.0 GTI
Post by: redsteveb on 02 March 2014, 12:40
Hi everyone. I've just bought my wife a 2003 MK4 2.0 GTI which came with a decent service history. Overall it's in very good condition and I've booked in it for some cosmetic bodywork repairs next week, just to get her looking as good as new.

The only issue we've noticed is a squeak/squeal on starting first thing in the morning. The battery was replaced recently and I've charged it yesterday. It doesn't appear to re-occur during the day, say after she's gone shopping for an hour, that kind of thing.

I'm thinking fan belt, maybe starter motor? Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Steve
