Hey Guys,

Yes it is a polo go a golf forum xD Sorry

I have been looking at and MK4 Phase 2 Polo GTI and seem to come up trumps for what I need. What should I be looking out for e.g. cam belt, water pump at X miles etc...

Thanks

Body panels differ from the golf, so look out for those. Also likely to have different lights, different interior and different lights. Wheels also may not be the same size.

Great comments so far

I love those cars, would like one myself  The engine is the same as the mk4 GTI but I'm not sure which engine code it is. Some decent tyres are a must as apparently it can be a bit slippy off the line  I haven't heard of many other problems to be honest, just the usual 1.8T stuff of coil packs and the odd split boost pipe.

The only problems ive come across is split washer pipes which can be a pain and also soak the interior
