Re: Mesaboogie's new ride!
Sweet car, I loved the MKIV's. Rims and Drop! Hahah, j/k, but seriously, keep up with the oil changes on that car, I heard those engines are kinda iffy.

Re: Mesaboogie's new ride!
The salesman told me that it is running synthetic oil and only requires an oil change twice a year...I've heard that Beemers only need 1 only change a year, so I believe it. I'm definitely going to keep up on the maintenance though.94Corolla5Speed wrote:Sweet car, I loved the MKIV's. Rims and Drop!

Re: Mesaboogie's new ride!
I'd still change it at least every 4-5k on VW engines. Believe me, as much as I'm sorry to say, the MKIV's, especially the 1.8t's, are plagued with problems. I'd still trade my reliable Corolla for it though.mesaboogie18 wrote:The salesman told me that it is running synthetic oil and only requires an oil change twice a year...I've heard that Beemers only need 1 only change a year, so I believe it.

Re: Mesaboogie's new ride!
Yeah, I heard that vdubs had reliability issues but mostly electrical stuff. That's why I bought the warranty b/c I wouldn't have bought the car without it.94Corolla5Speed wrote:I'd still change it at least every 4-5k on VW engines.

Re: Mesaboogie's new ride!
Man, that's really good for a used car. What does it cover? Also, I've driven a MKIV for a brief drive, they are very fun.mesaboogie18 wrote:4 years/48,000 from the day I bought the car.94Corolla5Speed wrote:Cool, how long does the warranty last?

Not sure how much choice he has. That's Hawaii's plate design.

Re: Mesaboogie's new ride!
The warranty covers everything. Bumper to bumper, powertrain, GAP coverage, and it includes "Pro-Coat" which is an extra clearcoat seal that covers the interior and exterior of the vehicle for 7 years against spills, paint damage, bird crapz, etc...It's like having a new car...but not completely new.94Corolla5Speed wrote:Man, that's really good for a used car.
