Mine is 1.4 ryder, do you mean costs so much as in things breaking?  because my mk3 seems to be falling to bits although its in relatively good condition.  I'm half tempted to get my self an XR3I again and give up on the golf, every thing seems to break on this bloody car!!!!

First off mate id have a really good service, some times its suprizing what this can do. Then id look at the suspension first befor the engine because unless you are will to spend loads on the 1.4 you arnt going to get big BHP.... :wink:
