MK4 Golf GTi and GTTDI common faults?

[AndyKH]

Hi guys, i'm going to be buying either a 1.8t GTI or either a 130bhp or 150BHP GTTDI in the next couple of weeks. I've found a nice low mileage example of each apart from the 150 model and was wondering what i need to be asking and looking for when viewing?

Cheers Guys and girls.

The 1.8 T i've seen has only 51000 on the clock and i'm just awaiting a reply on the what the service history is on the car at the minute. Another 1.8 i've seen has 90000 on the clock but comes with a full VWSH. Is it really the case that mileage isnt an issue if it has been serviced as per VW's schedual? What about turbo lifespan on the petrol and diesel models?
