04 Golf With Intermittent Fault

My daughter bought a very low (30k) mileage 04 Golf Automatic, for £4,000. When test driving noticed engine management warning light was on. They managed to fix it / get it through the MOT (otherwise it would have failed). Unfortunately the light came on again within a couple of weeks of purchase. She gave them the option of taking the car back or fixing the fault. I spoke to Martin who was very helpful and said that it would be better to return the car for a refund, as he could not guarantee curing the problem. She returned the car her payment was refunded by Kirk who is in charge of sales. Unfortunately these things happen - looks like this car is what I believe the trade call 'a lemon'.
