Make sure the DSG service was done at or around 40k miles, and of course regularly serviced.

Welcome to the forum.

I bought a tornado red 3dr myself a few weeks ago. Enjoy the car.

Few things to search to get you up to speed:

DV failure/revisions
PCV
Cam follower
Arch warranty

That's just the basics, good things to at least be aware of :-)

It has full VW service history with 2 cambelt changes from VW, Il have tp check the book again in regards to the DSG oil change. If not il be booking that in ASAP with VW as they quoted me £179

I'm paying £6750 for it with standard GTI seats, Winter Pack and Kenwood Satnav fitted by vw :)

Todays gonna be a long day! :D

My Golf did this as well, the bonnet wouldn't shut after it was opened. I sprayed a load of WD40 onto the catch and let it do its magic for about half an hour then hey presto it shut
