thinking off buying a mk3 20 8v,my mk4 is getting some work done on it [usless info]iv been offered 1 104k on a k,no major rust but could do with a re spray,lad says there is a squeak coming from power steering,does this sound major??he wants £400 for it,any help would be much app,cheers in advance :smiley:

Slippy belt? I have known a few golfs with noisy pumps but thats more of a whining/grinding noise.
Is it deffinatly the P/S system? Jack up the front and and turn the wheels side to side with the engine off, See if it makes a squeek then, Could be the suspenssion top mounts!
I would check the belt first though, Very common to slip, especialy if its wet :wink:
-
cheers fella is it worth £400
-
I would reckon, the sqweak is probably the belt slipping as its been said on here in many many threads, so i reckon its worth the £400. I a paid twice that and more for one in the same condition..... Call me a mug, or a teenager, i dont mind, lol!
But yeah, i reckon for £400 it could be a winner, but maybe a BIT cheap :undecided:

Nice one, in that case if its mates rates, its a good steal, i paid like £900 for a P plate 8v with 102k on it. So its a deal. Go for it, Expect to see you here again soon.

I payed £800 For a 1.4L and £-250 for a GTI (part exchanged) Kinda balance each other out i think
A good deal if you ask me! cant go wrong at £400 realy.
