D5's... Talk to me.

[Redbrick]

I'd use the 850 t5 solid flywheel and s60r clutch, if I buy a d5 that's the route I'd go.

Fair enough! I like to not have my teeth rattled out hence the DMF. Even a Powerflex top torque bar bush is too much for me on a D5.

For the costs of DMF u could reinforce yr teeth and have some fun

Pre facelift 163bhp with a vacuum actuator engines are the best and very good on fuel.If u find a good one go for it.I`d avoid 185bhp.

So is that about an 04? I'm off to see an 04 s60 with 150k on Saturday.

Me too. Put a deposit on an 04 today, facelift with 163bhp engine, 150k but great history, collecting tomorrow

[LiamT4]

So whats the issue with the 185bhp versions?

[mike 850]

I think it's the dpf that put people off?

On early facelifts you have a vacuum actuator on the turbo 04 must be on of them.Black cover is 163bhp silver insert in the cover is 185.Get the EGR pipes etc removed and cleaned (in the front of the engine,gerbox side),they usually have a lot of build up there.I loved mine but the DMF was on its way so sold it.Me and Gav drove it 30L of diesel 370miles,75% motorway miles.They are great cars mate,being an 04 u should have the uprated clocks too

I wouldn't buy one without the chrome rings on the clocks....
What about this car boys? 163bhp but an emissions fault?
Cheap car though & low miles.

I recon MAF or O2 sensor,could be an old vacuum pipe or the usual EGR.Good price and low miles.

You need to read the codes with VIDA and a DICE. 'Engine service required' happened on mine when I had code ECM-6805 which was a split intercooler and leaking engine mount. Not a hard job to replace a couple of £100 for a new intercooler. Plenty of info on that code if you google it.

I forgot about that,thats another common issue

[Ettienne]

Someone told me about some car filling the sump with diesel, some sort of leak

[Biff]

Sounds similar to what the Saab has just done Steve.
I'm ok driving my Dads Auris Hybrid for another week.
I've not got the time to be chasing faults after the last couple of weeks.
Sleeps for wimps anyway.

Just install some VW software, emissions will be fine.

Or Audi Seat or Skoda. They haven't announced how many Seats or Skoda's

This seems a good price, high spec average miles, interior looks to be above average nick too. Not a million miles from Wales.

Better spec in that one. The strategically positioned drivers seat belt is covering probably extensive wear at that mileage; a bit cheeky!
