Any advice on common FTO issues or problems..

Post by Blindside »

hey, so while im on the lookout for an FTO GPX model in the comming months, is there any advice u experienced guys can share to a newb like myself about common things to look out for when buying an FTO?

Iv had a look around a few threads on the topic of buying a used car and things you should keep an eye out for, but i was mainly just interested in anything that is FTO specific?

A few things I've heard about are the tappets getting a bit noisy with age and also the door locking motors getting weak, and the passenger window becoming rattly (i think..?)

any advice is appreciated. cheers

There is a sticky dedicated to just what you are asking. Cant remember which section its in though. Rust in the roof is another one to look out for (bubbles).
