    WHAT should i be concerned about!!! 02" BORA V6 4MOTION

    OK sooooooooo, as the title states. I have just bought a Bora and although i am a past VAG owner (Audi) i am not to familiar with the dubs. Basically it is going in tomorrow to Eurotune for a full service and full check up and what have you. The previous owner had the last 20k of the car serviced by a mate 'i presume' but the books haven't been stamped?? Al-bight there appears to be receipts for works carried out over that period of time being Haldex etc etc...

    So basically what should i be looking at to be serviced and replaced etc etc..... and also price expectation? The vehicle in question is a 2002 V6 4MOTION manual and has just hit 140k.

    Thanks in advance,

    Dev.

    Hahahha welcome to owning a bora 4motion!!

    These things are riddled with problems. Honestly, whether it's failing coolant hoses/t-joints, busted sensors (car seems to have about 50 of them), self destructing door locks/rear vision mirrors/coil plugs, peeling and/or cracking interior plastics, random emission hoses that are insanely expensive, diffs that love to jam their clutches or just don't work and driveline parts that seem to prematurely wear out and expensive as hell to replace.

    What has come up on your roadworthy?
