Slippy belt?   I have known a few golfs with noisy pumps but thats more of a whining/grinding noise.

Is it deffinatly the P/S system?   Jack up the front and and turn the wheels side to side with the engine off,  See if it makes a squeek then,  Could be the suspenssion top mounts! 

I would check the belt first though,  Very common to slip, especialy if its wet

cheers fella is it worth £400

[Mikester]

I would reckon, the sqweak is probably the belt slipping as its been said on here in many many threads, so i reckon its worth the £400. I a paid twice that and more for one in the same condition..... Call me a mug, or a teenager, i dont mind, lol!

But yeah, i reckon for £400 it could be a winner, but maybe a BIT cheap

Nice one, in that case if its mates rates, its a good steal, i paid like £900 for a P plate 8v with 102k on it. So its a deal. Go for it, Expect to see you here again soon.

cheers for your help fella! deal done im picking it up tonight

I payed £800 For a 1.4L  and £-250 for a GTI (part exchanged)  Kinda balance each other out i think

A good deal if you ask me! cant go wrong at £400 realy.

[boneybradley]

£400...its worth more than that for parts...
