Does anyone know if my 2003 mk3 uses the same thread size? Out of interest, do the mk1 and mk2 also have the same sized thread as mk3s? Thanks!

Thought I would do a rust buyers guide for the Mk3 for anyone who is looking to buy one.

Do bear in mind that this isn't always the case, I have a 1.6 1997 which only has rust where the lacquer has been broken and not attended to. they can rust, but proper care can avoid it! And always give it a good going over before you take her home.

That is a bad one. I've had a rear arch, door sill hole, rear floor grommets, and need a front drivers wing. Checked most other places and seem ok so far.
