Get the 1.8T not the 2.0 N/A which was sometimes badged as a GTI. Later models with AUQ engine code are 180bhp with a k03s turbo, slightly larger than the k03 that came on earlier 150bhp models. AGU is large port, which is the earliest model, if you're looking to modify to big power.
Otherwise just the regular things such as frequent oil services and find some nice spec - Recaros make quite a difference

Nice one, thank you.
The 2.0 does seem very underpowered for a GTi. I'm not planning on modifying it at all. I need a car to commute in (200 miles every second weekend) for a year.
I have a 1.8T and a 2.0 lined up to view so I should get a decent comparison.

My Audi's got a derivation of that motor (in 190bhp guise) and I keep meaning to get it Revo'd, they reckon they can get it up to 215-225bhp for the sake of 300 quid!

Volkswagen fans!
I need a run around for the next year and I've narrowed my search down to few MK4 Golf GTIs.
Is there anything in particular they suffer from or is there anything I need to look at or ask about?
My last VW was aircooled so I'm a bit out of touch with the water pumpers.
Thank you.
