smarty Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Am currently looking for a 2.8 4motion. Anyone got any pitfalls to look out for or what is worth paying attention when looking??. appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbucket Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Golf or Passat? Assuming Golf.. Switch the climatronic to AUTO. both engine cooling fans should run continuously at a low speed. If they pulse on and off at high speed (ie noisy) the fans need replacing circa £300 Coil packs can fail, no way to predict that though. But check if they have been replaced under warranty Knocking front suspension, could be ARB bushes or strut top mount bearings. not to expensive either way. Those are the faults I had on mine and are fairly common Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
