Mk4 Golf 2.0 GTi (2003)
11k Miles when we got it, now up to 95k
Repairs:
Waterpump (Failed within warranty and was a known problem - fixed for free)
Fusebox - Water ingress which led to a new one £110 all in
Front pipe & Cat failed causing the Engine management light to come on even though it was fine on emissions, cost £400 all in.
That's the only money i've ever had to spend repairing things but it's had:
2 sets of Discs & Pads all round (2nd set was only recently as they did 40k each). Around £100 all in each time getting a mate to do it.
Servicing every year or 10k without fail for around £90 all in, i've supplied all parts on the major services which are around £150
Cambelt replaced at £150
Averages 30mpg on a usual tank, up to 35mpg if very careful driving daily and no traffic.
It doesn't really get through hardly any oil either but i've heard some people with this engine have had a problem having to put 1-2L oil in between services.
Not bad really, i think it's proved to me why the VAG cars are so well thought of and make good buys even at high mileage!
Seat Leon FR TDi (2008) does 40mpg and all i've had to do since we got it was have all 4 wheels refurbed, couple of tiny door dents taken out and 2 x New tyres & brake fluid service (Overall i've spend £750 on it)
