I posted earlier about getting a Golf with a broken engine mount which
I have decided to not get!

I've seen another cheap GTI MK IV which has some sort of electrical
problem:

Passenger door's central locking, electric window, electric mirror and
even the red light on the door doesn't work.

Anyone idea's what could be wrong with this car?

Is this another one to avoid?

Door module thingy.

Someone listed that in "things to avoid" on your other thread.

I will now repeat that the only way to get a decent Golf Mk4 GTi is to pay
the right money for one. Cheap ones are cheap for a reason.

Must be a break in the wires to the door. Check the rubber boot where the
wires feed from the car to the door.

Even if you fix this, chances are the door lock module will be goosed
anyway! If you do buy this and strip the door to investigate, I would
replace the plastic window regulator clips with the new and improved metal
ones before your windows drops into the door!
