    2003, Diesel auto, 180k miles. No history, needs timing belt bit of rust on a wheel arch. Test to March 2018, new tyres. Would I be mad to give more than 1000 for it?

    Plenty of them of that year around and under €1000. I'd definitely be looking to go less than €1k. More like €800

    Stick all red TDI badges on it and you'll double your money. :)

    Yes.

    Also there are better automatic transmissions to be had than the ones which were used by vw at the time.

    The way I see it is many golfs are bought by people who don't necessarily need nor explicity want a hatchback.
    So I wouldn't limit the op to hatchbacks also rare to get an auto tdi golf hatch many are estates.

    The auto gearbox in these is a hape of sh1te.

    Personally I'd go for an auto e46 320d but they're not without their problems either.

    If a manual was an option at all then yes a mk4 golf would be a perfect choice.

    VW were using DSG in 2003 unfortunately not in Diesel golfs.
