bit of everything really... :laugh:   looks wise i prefer the mk5,  do they do a mk5 1.8? 

Also seen a couple of cars which mention new cambelt and water pump on a car which has done 40k.  is that right.  On my MG thats abotu the going rate before something goes wrong. Just concerned that if the water pump wasnt caught at the right time more things could have worn?

In my experience the 1.8T or the 1.9TDi are the best engines in the later model cars, although I have had neither in the Golf and am unaware what engines that offer in the later/latest models.  I believe they changed the 1.9TDi to a 2.0TDi for the latest line, which isn't as good as engine.

Either way an exhaust, new filter and remap will give you a good power boost and better response without losing reliability.

You can also upgrade any car, I'm in the process of fitting a VW heated leather interior to my mk3 that it never came with.

The cambelt and such need to be checked whenever you buy the car and buying a car that has just had them done may save you money in the near future.  They're gonna need to be changed regularly anyways.
