The Mk4s rust as bad as any mk3, (and they are alot newer) arches where the plastic liner rubs against it and also the tailgate around the handle are problem areas. subframes rust like a mofo on all cars we have worked on - you dont get this as bad on any mk3 we worked on

The difference is that the mk3 chassis rots, mk4s are galvanised. Cosmetic rust is easily fixed, structural rust sends cars to the scrappy in the sky.

The mk4's flaws are numerous and irritating, but rust really isn't one of them.

Yes it is.... Arches tailgate subframes...  all issues...   

Mk3s are galvernised too LOL, and those are the ones that rust.. the early mk3s  (J, K, L Reg) are not but have a sh!t load of that wax protection stuff like the mk2s and these are the mk3's that seem to be less prone to rot.. like my 1993 car thats in better shape structurally than any mk4 we have had out hands on

Mk4s are alot newer than many mk3's and rust has already started to become a problem on some cars, few more years and these will be worse than mk3's.

Even mk5's are having issues with rust

Given that most cars spend most of their time stuck in traffic/parked/going to the shops i don't see why having 200bhp is any better than having 150/180 on a daily driver..

It is, trust me the 180 standard is ok but a remap makes a world of difference in so many respects.

[xtetx]

a remap transformed mine from 150bhp. should have come out the factory with a stage 1

I loved my Mk4 was a great car & never actually broke down or had any major faults in the whole time i had it but i had owned it from 40,000 miles & looked after it.

 I still see it all the time as my g/f best friend bought it & still going strong !

Those are not Forum meets.
Just people from here meeting at an event.
Not a full organised forum meet.
