The fault
How you spot it
On cars between 2009 and 2012 the air conditioning either does not cool enough, or it occasionally drops out completely. The Golf Plus is sold in winter too, and a faulty air conditioner does not show in the cold.

How we know
Information, not an expert opinion
We write the descriptions, and we put the source next to them. A person reviews them before they go out. They are still information, not a technical expert opinion.
- A fault on the list does not mean the car you are looking at has it.
- A fault missing from the list does not mean the model is fault-free. Write-ups are made model by model. Not all of them are done.
- You decide whether to buy. This is no substitute for an inspection. That needs a workshop and a history check.
