If its been sitting for 3 years the first thing I would do is change all the belts, the oil and filter, drain the fuel out the tank and put fresh fuel in. Then when it comes to starting it i would pull the efi fuse and crank it over for about 20 seconds to build some oil pressure. I might even...
Don't think I could part with 2.5 - 3K for a noisey N/A that couldn't keep up with a turbo with just an exhaust and filter. But if he's happy with it then good luck to him.
Think about it long and hard, because you know once you see the tail lights disapear out of sight its gone forever. Can you let the car go and have no regrets?? If so then its time to move on.
Just use a paper clip or a bit of wire, the diagnostic box is right behind the fuse box. Jump Te1 and E1, then turn the ignition key to position two. The check engine light will flash at 1/2 second intervals if there are no codes. If there are codes it will flash the codes numbers at you in...

I don't think Mk4 owners are arseholes either, I met some very decent down to earth owners at a meet. One MK4 guy was asking me loads of questions aboumt my old turd, I think his dump valve was worth more than my car.
Like the idea of the 7M in a MK4 now that would be a unique swap
