need to know two things

[OakeyDoak16v]

Ive had to replace the cams , steering rack, alternator pulley, temp sender, MAF, boost hoses, all bushes front and rear, wheel bearings, inner and outer CV boots, steering pump, door module, rear wiper motor.....I could go on

Not much you can do to prevent them, just service it regularly and check things for signs of wearing

Scary Mary. Whats the year / mileage if you dont mind me asking?

your door module is that because of the central locking fault golfs have? if it is, is it easyer to change the module or just to fix it ?

Jeez some serious spending you guys have on your cars

Luckily quite a few things my brother had already done on the before I bought it off him, these were,
Clutch and dual mass flywheel job was about £700ish from a VW specialist.
Alternator not sure how much this was.
Some pulleys, not sure what these are and how much.
He's had some other stuff aswell, i'll dig up the receipts when I get a chance for more detail on the jobs and prices.
These cars IMO are quite problematic and can be costly, again IMO.

So the money you may save in fuel gets swallowed by maintenance

I think I need to do some bushes somewhere as it makes a loud bang noise when going over potholes I think it's coming from the back.

True but at the min your not really saving with what the price of fuel is atm

i had a banging which sounded like it was coming from my rear but ended up being my anti roll bushes at the front lol
