1998 Volkswagen Golf S review from UK and Ireland
"A bit pricey to buy, but worth it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One relay
One mass air sensor
two bulbs
One mirror motor.
General comments?
Had this car from New. Its used every day and has run without a fault apart from the three above. The relay was a call back so they knew about it, the mass air sensor is common they say, but it was expensive. VW know do part exchange on this part for a quarter of the price I paid. Have to say its been a good car, still runs well and the fuel consumption is great and the oil consumption nil. I'm selling it now to some lucky person and buying the Golf Mk 5.
