Very boring, my mk5 lasted 6 months.
Could you not pick up one of the Cupra TDIs though for that kind of money? At least it looks better than the Golf.

Mk4s its only the 1.4/1.6 engined ones as far as I know which are shit
"Hole punctured in gearbox casing due to a sheared rivet on the differential.
The rivets attaching the final drive gear to the differential are inadequate and shear off, usually around 50k miles"

I bet half the people who have posted 'Golf' in here haven't even driven one...
Saying 'Golf' to a "What Diesel" thread is almost like saying saying "Needs Lowering" in the pictures thread!
£6k, I'd have one of these over a golf any day of the week.
