Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Mk 6 golf
Hi and welcome.
A full service history is obviously important. And with a 2011 GTI you will want to be checking for timing chain issues (very common on this engine), leaking water pumps and faulty inlet manifolds.
The engines themselves are good providing its been well serviced and hasn't had timing chain issues.
Is the car manual or DSG? If DSG then it should have had 2 or 3 transmission services by this age and kilometres. Make sure this is documented in the service history.
Have you got a link to the car you are looking at?
I would also recommend paying $200-300 for a thorough mechanical check of the car by a VW/Euro car specialist (not the VW dealership). Which city are you in so we can recommend some places for mechanical inspections.Last edited by Lucas_R; 26-07-2021, 11:49 AM.
