Nice

so generally if i plug it in a car im viewing and it says error codes about some stuff will it repair it for me? saving me the hassle to go to vw dealership?

lol the code reader tells you what needs fixing

It doesn't fix the faults    If that was the case we'd all be master mechanics and save millions on garage bills a year 

Make a list of the codes, do some research to find out what may be involved in putting them right and then decide if its worth haggling

LOl my bad i hear ya, where can i get a list of the codes ...

From the fault code reader you plug into the car 

Then look them up here

god thats alot of codes, do i have to keep a record of all of em when i use that code reader when viewing a car :   http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Fault_Codes

It comes with a booklet with most of the codes

thanks all for the info, but someone tell me how much is a 1.8t worth under 100k mileage if it has full service history and if it doesnt have service history, i dont want to overpay for one and then regret it after?

Let us know when you see one you want to look at, I'm sure if someone here is close they'll go with you?

I'd rather have a well looked after one with 120000 than a raped example with 40000 that has been treated like an orphan. A well maintained engine will see you well. I'd want £3000+ for my 1998 AGU or an m3 if I decided to sell it. Although I don't think I could. Just shop around instead of impulse buying. If you are humming and harring about one with no service history, that's how the next buyer will be thinking when you come to sell it.......
