Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- Haldex service record (Golf R and 4MOTION). Ask for proof of the service. Bad result: no record, or a Haldex pump fault or lost rear drive. Costs about 115 USD for the service and several thousand USD for a rear unit (US, year not given).
- Steering recall (48VS). Give the VIN to a VW dealer. Bad result: an open recall. The hatchback scope is unclear, so the VIN check decides. The repair is free.
- Sunroof drains and damp carpets. Lift the boot carpet and check the footwell for damp. Bad result: damp carpet or water in the boot. The US class action covers water damage for 7 years or 80,000 miles.
- Fault scan and battery. A scanner (VCDS or OBDeleven) reads the fault memory. Bad result: stored faults. On start-stop cars, check that the battery is AGM or EFB.
