Morning people. As title says I'm after some advice. Basicly on the lookout for a mk2 vrs around 2010ish, question is petrol or diesel??? Looking for information guys ect... I have a Mk1 the now, had for 8 years just looking for abit of change and somthing newer but unsure on engine. Somthing is telling me to stay away from petrol but can't remember why? Any help appreciated cheers

I see you are in North Lanarkshire.  How many miles a day do you go, or a week or year.    Is the reason a petrol is a concern because of the risk of a bad one.  Same thing can happen if you end up with a bad TDI / Dpf.    Get what suits your usage.

Hi mate. Tbh I don't do alot of mileage the now as I work 2 mins from my house, however I do tend to use car at times for journeys at weekend or whatever. Just thought there was a common problem with petrol chains or somthing? If getting a diesel and had dpf issue I wld jst take dpf out and map it. Also wondering on the dsg gearboxes any problems with them?
