ok so back on topic lol

DV, Silicone pipes, Catch Can, N249 bypass, Silicone TIP, Forge Actuator, Compression Test, Smoke Test, Water Pump and Cambelt, if Climatronic then Air pump check, fan belt, Clutch slip test, top mount age check, temp - O2-Lambda - thermostat check, if its a sunroof model then check all drainage pipes and carpets, ask if the clutch pedal has ever snapped, brake pads, Discs and finally recall.

if i missed anything just let me know

but your mad lol if you want a car that drives well, has little issues after the blood sweat and tears then the 1.8t is the car for you, ive now got my car working as its suppose to, its taken 2 years, 3000£ and lean months but i can now start modding properly and i know as soon as i start its gonna bring up fresh problems lol

its a vicious circle but if you want a car that keeps you smiling and guessing then have fun matey , i am  :grin:
