I'm in the market for VW Golf GTD MK6, what do I need to....

.... look out for?

I want a 170ps 3 door TD I know that, and my budget won't stretch to a MK7.

Would like the mileage to be below 30k, one owner, FVWSH etc.

Anything I should look out for, or avoid?
Have you had one? any probs? How do you rate them?

Thanks advance.

I've been very happy with my Mk6, its an excellent all rounder. The 2.0 TDI CR seems quite a solid engine compared to the others and gets decent economy. Wouldn't worry too much about mileage as they are built to do big miles. Cambelt isn't due until 120k.

I posted some thoughts here recently - http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

I would also suggest this forum - http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?board=75.0

Cheers for that.


I know they do the miles, My Caddy TDi 1.9 104ps that had bought new in 2004, has given up after 218,000 miles, never had a clutch, always serviced, I took it to Le mans 2006, then Denmark, Germany, all over UK but it's time to move it on.

The Mk6 GTD looks a good buy to me, a lot of car for around the £12k
