    DIM, dmf, injectors and electrical weirdness.

    that's about it.

    oh, and leaky power steering tank cap.

    and alarm failure.

    denominated handbrake shoes

    leaky master cylinder

    cruise control randomly failing.

    rear wiper motor failure.

    leaky heater matrix connections.


    the chirp could be the dmf

    Bushes and drop links are supposed to be weak.

    I can confirm the electrical weirdness, not long after I got mine I tried to start it and it came up with something like "started aborted, please try again". Also the other week the fuel gauge didn't work for some reason??? lol

    Nope. As per other thread the DMF, intercooler and DIM have been changed already.
    bit of a dump valve sort of sound, or a valve bypassing. Very odd.
    Goes okay (I assume) for a diesel. Lit the stc up in second in the dry so I don't know :/
