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

[navmk4gti]

mk4's aint that bad mate.. for a turbo car there reliable and give good mpg compared to other turbo cars out there 

try finding a low miler.. whats your budget btw?

My budget is 2k- 2800 max

Theres one ive been haggling, for 1800, 2001 Y plate, 1.8t 90k , mot tax, NO SERVICE HISTORY AT ALL,

is it worth paying 1800 for it bearing in mind it has no service history?

its a risk mate i would say. personally i would not get one unless its got full service history preferable dealer history. So then at least you know the ccar has been taken care off and what has been done like timimng belt, water pump etc etc which are prone to go at 100k mark  

but with any car give good once over and go with your gut feeling

thats so true first instincts play a big part, ideally i want one with service history if not FSH, theres on selling for 3000 72k fsh, all black with few mods, i offered him 2600 he isnt budging and im not paying anything more just incase it needs something after i buy it ?

what you reckon how much are they worth on 2000 plate with them specs?

cheers mate
