Thread: Thinking about a new to me 4x4. Ute VW. Anything to watch out for

That km bracket is where things are going wrong in them. Nothing big typically, just usual European stuff, like anything electrical. Parts are EXPENSIVE, even secondhand, try $400+ for door lock actuator (the part only not fitting).
Yes they are very nice to drive. The manuals are less forgiving clutch and gear/revs wise than a Jap ute.
There are much better choices if you think you will be towing regularly.
Had one for 5yrs loved it but hated it too gave up at 144K on the clock
