Hello all! Iam new to this site, just joined as I am on the verge of commiting to buy a mark 4 gt tdi golf with 92K on clock but it has a couple of slight issues that I need to check out before I buy! The main problem is the remote fobs do not work, the leds flash and I have just had them checked and they are sending the signal but not communicating with the car, although I managed to unlock once this morning with it! Also if I unlock the car but dont put key in ignition and open one of the passenger doors or boot the alarm sounds. Just called VW Dealer and they say this is correct?!! They say may just need new fob, quoted £38 plus vat which sounds fine to me although strange that both keys with the car are faulty! The other problem is the power steering belt sounds noisy when turning at low speeds, sounds like a fan belt slipping!, not sure how big an issue it would be?! Apart from that I am very keen and excited at the prospect of becoming a golf owner!!! I did post in general chat before I realised there was a mark 4 section!!
Any ideas or advice would be gratefully received as I really need to decide this weekend! One other thing, it has full history done every 10k but no evidence the cambelt has been done, if I need to do this do people always change the water pump too or not?!
Thanks a lot
