whats ur opinion??????
« on: 05 August 2008, 23:01 »
wel basicly im weighing up 2 different golfs and not sure which would be the best to go for.
so ive seen a nice mk4 turbo at a good price but the only thing im not sure about is that it
has 90k on the clock, would that bother anyone?

ive also got my eye on a sweat mk2 20vt with everything done as should and im informed
the engine has only got 40k in it.

which would you go for???

If the mk2 is running OE management then you can check the mileage with vag com but be weary of trusting what people say about mileage.

Mk4 1.8t's as a rule need new turbo's at about 120,000 miles but thats just a reason to upgrade to a KO3s ;)
Will always love my mk4 but she had to go...225 Quattro TT in its place....but its still black (she lives on in spirit!)

50/50 really mate, as a general rule its 120k but if there is no problem with it driving I would literally just wait for it to go
