What to look for when buying a mk4?
« on: 19 November 2011, 19:28 »
I'm in the middle of moving up from a mk3 to a mk4-
I've got a couple of turbos to look at but thought I would ask you guys if there is any thing I should be looking for in particular when  viewing a mk 4? :smiley:

Yeah, make sure its got a turbo cos I bought the non turbo model and was massively dissappointed. In fact, unless you plan on upgrading the suspension and getting a remap then keep the mk3!!

A mate of mine has just bought a nice 02 130brake diesel - I had a go last night and must admit it has a nice bit of torque through gears 3 and 4 - very surprised!
