This is mine. Its a 2000 on a w reg 1.9 gt tdi 115 3 door. The biggest problems with these is the owners treat them hard with no maintenance. Hence why loads are absolutely hanging. This one has done 226.000 miles was 3 years overdue a cambelt and it was either i saved it or it got scrapped. It still does 55mpg it still has a few issues now but it drives spot on. Keep them maintained and you wont have a problem.  |

Another tip is to pull the foam pad from underneath the front wings, wheel off, drop the splash guard down.
This was fitted apparently as an anti drumming measure, more like a lovely place to start corrosion, hence why you see VAG stuff from the 2000s onwards with rot in the centre of the arch on the front wings.
I pulled it out of my 2010 Seat Ibiza and whilst no corrosion had started the foam was saturated with water even though it hadn't been wet for a few days.
