Good luck!

I think it is 60k or 5 years - put another way, if it hasn't been done - it'll need doing PDQ!

If it has agenuine FVWSH - you can call any VW service dept and they can see the cars records on the computer from the reg number

good luck

btw - bear in mind the Glass's is a mid price - and at this age, a good one will command a premium at auction, maybe as much as £2300

aswell as the cambelt 60k is THE major service. I had both done at an independant VAG specialist and the bill was £400, so remember to factor that in.

Thank you. That is a major factor

By the way, why does the search not work?

High millage is nothing to a VW.

My 96N has now got 92k and still runs so sweet! If its got high millage and a full service history, dont be put off, use it as a wee bargaining tool!

My clutch is also heavy but the guy in work his is ligh. Had mine checked out by a mechanic i know and he says its fine and nothing to worry about!

Thanks people.

I tried to knock him down, but he was not having it. He said he would sell it for that price at some time :rolleyes:

I will have to keep looking
