Hi all just a few newbie questions

[t8ylx]

Hi all hoping to pick up a mk5 golf gti tomorrow after the sale of my mk6 fiesta st.

I've found a decent spec'd car and I received a text from him saying there's now a problem with the car and it's lost boost.
The car is completely standard and I've read the guide on the pcv valve and dv.

Should I still take a look at the car as I'm 3 hours away from him or should I stay clear?

He's offered to knock some money off to get it sorted but can I still drive it home (steadily)

Welcome mate, best thing to do is take a mechanic friend with you to check the engine over? As it could be something so simple for example boost hose come loose? Good luck anyways.

have you looked at the sale section on here also

Tell him those two items are most likely the fault - tell him to have them changed and report back - shouldn't be much more than £120 parts and labour.

Have him send you a vehicle scan with VCDS to show the faults are clear.

As for going to see it and part with your money to buy a faulty item, I wouldn't go there!

thanks all for the replies, ive since spoken to him and hes taken it into the garage for piece of mind before the car is collected.
