any major problems with the 2000's?

[pik_d]

might be about to buy a 2000 gti gls 1.8t, and i just want to know if there are any major problems from that year.

and about how many miles should i expect it to last without any major problems? its on around 54,000 miles, if that helps. and the current owner is in his 30's - 40's, judging by his voice over the phone, so not some teenager who will be more likely to drive it hard.

anything you guys can tell/suggest would be appreciated.


im only asking this because its the 2nd year of its generation of gti's, and i figure there MAY be a chance of a few oddball things going wrong.

Nothing different than any other vw problems...

what kind of problems would those be?

They used plastic clips to hold the power windows in the track... they would brake and the windows would drop... was a TSB or Recall I believe. Check alldatadiy.com they have everything you need to know on how to fix your car and they give free TSB and Recall reports.
