There have been quite a few MK4 Golf threads in here of late so have a peek for those but similar things to A3, TT and Octavia.

Specific to MKIV it would seem are dodgy electric windows and rusty arches - aircon seems to break for fun of them too, 'just needs gassing' is BS.

This is a good website to glean information from, regarding the Golf range.

The wifes had one for 30'000 miles and we only seem to spend money on bushes, the latest poly bushes have been modified to last(kept popping out before).
Ours has hit 102'000 miles now averaged 40-45mpg all in all a good work horse.
Looking to replace it with a Mk5 varient next year and hope its as good.

I've got a 2001 A3 TDI 110, done 130k. Clutches are expensive, mine is just having new cambelt and headgasket (parts £250+vat including water pump) air con is faulty (not gas) but otherwise great car and averages over 50 mpg.

Considered a leon cupra tdi? Another similar option
