Looking to buy this tomorrow, any advice?

Ask for VAS scan to see what errors it has.

What is is a VAS scan, is it VagCom? If they don't have the tools, I have a Bluetooth OBD2 scanner i use to read and clear codes with on my BMW (just legacy codes like bulbs etc), is there a tool that i could utilize that with?

Looks immaculate and tidy. Quite low mileage too.
Just check the usual 2.0 TFSI DV, PCV, coilpack recall history etc.

I think price quite a balance for the given spec vs mileage.

Oh and please check the water pump been changed when the ladt cambelt change done.

I believe so too! I will do some research now but was unaware of the recalls in the first place! I doubt the dealer will have a clue, how can i check? :(

I've asked about the cambelt and waterpump...

Easy mate, just call VW and give the reg/vin and they can tell the history of the car..services recall etc.

At least I did that before buying my 2nd GTI

Got a call in the morning to say the car had already sold! Great guys though, ended up giving me the cash for my car and sent me on my way. Picked up an Audi A4 S-Line Special Edition Quattro in the end (mouthful i know!).

Hi bud,

It depends what you're coming from, and what you're expecting.

The car was overwhelming with its vast amounts of power and torque and the quailty in its build and design. It never failed to please me. However, i always felt very disconnected when driving it, maybe because i went for auto (biggest regret with that car for me), I think it has a lot to do with the fact that you feel so pampered and luxurious, that you almost forget your driving a sport car.

I am fortunate enough to be able to walk to work, so I only drive on the weekends, but before i bought my property i was commuting 50 miles a day. Forgetting the fuel bill, it was a lovely car to commute in!

Definitely take one for a good test drive and if you can go manual! Mine had I-Drive, fully electric heated seats, BT phone, and a few other extras that really made the car feel even better.

Good luck with your choice though!
