Did the A4s get the same motor in the GTI? *Whispers* you know you want an avant.

I would have sold Scotty mine....

On the GTI's and DI intake tract coking up, its real and its a problem. Have a shop do it, they'll clean 'er up for $500-600 and then after that install an aftermarket PCV & catch can setup - my A4 had that and no problems.

They will leak oil and coolant out of every o-ring in the block once your are north of 100k miles. Will be a few hundred in parts to get it all sealed up.

The HPFP followers wear and if you dont swap them every 30-40k they will eat the intake cam. Any car you buy, demand on a PPI and check the HPFP and intake tract, and use that to negotiate price/repairs.

They are GREAT cars and you are hard pressed to beat the value for money.

The TSI engine in the mk6 GTI's doesn't have the cam follower issue. That's only the golf r and older mk5 gti.
