V6 4Motion buyer's guide?


Recommended Posts

As stated in another thread i'm looking to buy one of these, preferably enthusiast owned with FSH and less than 100K miles.

 

Is there anything you should look out for on the Golf V6 4Mo at particular mileages? What typically goes wrong, and at what kind of age/mileage?

 

And is the Bora V6 4Mo the same performance wise and mechanically?

 

This forum is a godsend for people like myself who haven't owned many VAG cars so thanks in advance, hope someone can help :)

I think the earlier AUE engines don't need their chains changing, the BDE ones (post 2001) need changing at 100K. Haldex 4wd should be serviced every 20k, with filter at 40K. Radiator fans have a fault where the smaller one doesn't constantly spin, easy fix with a resistor.

Bora and golf are pretty much the same running gear and engine wise, except things like the exhaust is longer...

Plus all the usual MK4 things, rust etc.
