I would say buy a Bentley manual. Something every VW owner should have and it will answer almost all if not all of you questions.

Sounds like a well maintained vehicle, not much to worry about!

Rust, rust, rust... If it has'nt been rustproofed, look were the A piller joins with the fender, filler neck area, door jams, doors... The list is pretty long. If it's been repainted, make sure the job was well done 'cause it will all come back to haunt you before you know it. If you're looking for some codes, check scirocco.org If you're not 100% sure, have it check out by a garage that can also check the body. Happy hunting. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Well, car is rock solid engine wise, but it has its small rusty bits. Bottom of doors, and under handles. No a-pillar stuffs yet. None of this rust is through the metal, and none is even close to an eyesore. So i figgure, about $400 to have it all cleaned up. STill worth it?
pS, still looking for suspension FAQ
