Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- Test drive the car from cold. Watch for judder when pulling away and harsh shifts from 1st to 2nd. A bad result is judder or limp mode, which means the gearbox needs a repair. Ask for gearbox oil change records. A scanner reads the gearbox fault codes.
- On a GTI, ask for proof that the fuel pump cam follower was checked or replaced. A bad result is no record. A broken follower can cause major engine damage.
- Test every window, including any auto up and down function. A bad result is a window that stops, drops or opens by itself.
