Looking for a winter hack as ive just sold my current motor ( i know its not winter yet but wont be long)

Theres a golf mk4 around the corner from me on a 51 reg. Its a 3 door and it has the PD 115bhp engine, its a GT TDi model.

Its done 155,000 miles, but has full service history and a load of paperwork and reicepts and hes asking £1500 which is a fair price as its clean and has nice wheels etc.

The question here is the mileage, are these good to go at that mileage or is it a mileage where things start to fall apart? It had the cambelt done not long ago. Just wondered what else to look out for?

Thanks

 

Will be fine. Ive got a fabia vrs (pd130) on 115k and its still spot on. These engines do well over 200k

 

155000 miles, barely ran in LOL, no seriously it should be fine, provided its been looked after.

 

Get it bought.

 

mate sorry to say 115 pd engine suffers from headgaskit problems quite common best ones are 130pd iv had mine 6 years now apart from cleaning nothing and i mean nothing goes wrong with these mines done 130k my mates got a golf 150pd his just turned 200k still solid but yeah 115 stay clear!!!!

 

Id personally only buy it if its had a turbo and a clutch.

 

Get it bought. I've got a tdi (pdi) engine had it a fair few years now its got 190 tho on now and goes better than ever. I've drove it like I've stole it since I bought it don't look after it never service it check fluids once a year if its lucky. Flew through a test last week. Still looks good sounds good and drives well
Goes line stink aswell have hammerd the pump changed the nozols chipped mapped and has an every valve ect. Leaves at lot of cars at the lights in a cloud of sut haha

 

I got it, it goes well! Needs the beam bushes doing though as theres a nasty thud from under the backseat area when going over certain dips in the road like.

 

You wont look back imop. Great cars. Yup the bushes are very common fit polly ones. Mine have been on two years now and still good. The standerd ones lasted 12 months last time. Same on the front aswell the big bushes worn in 3 months standerd ones. Polly have been 2 years

 

Just hoping the dual mass and the turbo doesnt feck up cause in the bible of paperwork ive got with it i see nothing for clutch or turbo!

I also from what ive seen seem to believe the poly ones are not good? How much am i looking at to get those changed?

Cheers
