that's exactly the same as the Bora i rented 2 weeks ago, same color as well...

jokes aside,
you have a solid car that will start and run for the next 10000 miles before it burns up in flames due to electrical problems caused in the mexican factory, because some pendeho dropped a bowl a salsa down in the robot control panel.
good luck

Oh damn..

depends on what year your car is. late 2002 and newer have all common problems like coilpacks and window regs addressed.

even if it's older, those problems are under warranty and you can bring it to a dealer and get them fixed for free.
i have a 2000 golf 1.8t and i haven't had any problems going on 70k miles. i also have a 2001 audi tt with the same engine but with more stuff and that's also been very reliable.

This is a 2002....
I am not that worried about it..... It drives so well...
- vwsung18t0
as long as you take care of all regular maintenance you should be fine like most cars and drive it for a long time. good luck.

make sure you are not late on the oil changes...my wife went a few months over, and the engine died. almost $9000 to replace the engine.

my MkII 1.8 golf (92) has just celebrated 130k with a smile

probably oil sludge. make sure to use synthetic oil. once you change over to synthetic you can go back to regular. also change the timing belt around every 60-75k miles not every 100k miles like the manual says. it is a costly maintenance service but it's definitely neccessary. you can also do it yourself, i've seen timing belt replacement kits with everything you need.

looks like my car. Except i've got Wolfsburg on it and my rims are different. Also mine is a 2001.

Going on 113k on my VR6 and still no problems. Except the starter is starting to stick on cold mornings. I wonder how much the dealer is gonna charge me for that....anyone have an idea?

I picked up a VW mkII '94 for £50 9 months ago and it's still going strong and I expect to hit 120,000 miles this weekend.
