Hi All
New user, but read through here as much as I could before buying. I picked up a 2001 TDi Silver A2 over the weekend, which I thought was a good deal until realising it was 8 days shy of the £30 tax date :-(
A few issues, which I'd welcome opinion on before I go any further / cut my losses / sell on for a post 2001 model / etc. I had planned to make it nice again, it being an early model with OSS, rear elec windows and parking sensors already fitted.
Open Sky - seller said it doesn't work, so I've not even tried it for fear of it getting stuck open. Do I get it looked at by @Kleynie ?
NS A-pillar has bubbling paint - been quoted £200 to paint, worth repairing?
Cam belt - has done 142k and no history of belt change. I have it booked in with local mechanic for this + water pump + service, should I drive gingerly until done?
Many Thanks!
Richard
