golf r32 cylinder head

[spike2018]

hello all,

i am thinking of buying a 2006 golf R32 with about 45,000 miles, i have been told that the cylinder head goes on these and its very expensive to fix, is this a common problem or just rummer?? i realy want this car but have been a little put off by this

any help or advise would be greatly appricated

thanks
tom

all cars have gots there own unique faults, could just be a rumor, but the r32's are very sporty and i suppose anyone that owns one, knows that there good for speeding around in, and i suppose thats all there used for lol so when your racing around problems can generally occur depending on how you drive it. but if you got the money to buy one, then good luck to ya mate, would be nice to be able to drive one myself but its the insurance that would kick me in the ... uno. . any way look at it this way, expensive cars are usually expensive to maintain, thats my opinion anyway.
