Post by lee1 »

just a few pointers for you noobies that you should look at when buying a new sat

check for water damage passenger front foot well lift the carpet and the the black box which contains the ccm (ccm

controls the electrics for the doors and tailgate)

check where the battery doesn't have any water

and in the brake servo (this can be expensive) and also dangerous

make sure all the electrics work remote central locking and the lock button on the drivers door

also get the car diagnosed with vag com for any fault codes this needs to be done before you hand the cash over

try and test the alarm as this can also have water damage but in most cases just needs drying out

on the 1.8t and 1.8 20v the oil pumps can clog up with sluge after 120k miles

as well as all the usual checks that you should do

for estates only the pipe for the rear wiper washer jet can come apart behind the panel on the passengers side in the boot and also inside the tailgate its self. so if the boot is went thats whats coursed it

but don't be put of there great cars :wink:
