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
