Hi guys, Maciek here. just wanted to introduce myself and maybe get a few questions answered from you guys.

Im an owner of a vectra c 2003 2.0dti which is a nice car but slow as ....
Next weekend im planning to swap my car for a 1999 vw golf 1.8t 20V with 135k miles, full r32 bodykit and exhaust, and leather interior. Sounds great but i need to know what to look out for when im looking at the car mechanicaly wise. What do these cars suffer from. This is the car anyway :
