CarlTaylor Posted February 6, 2012 Report Posted February 6, 2012 Hello all, Became a member today and thought I'd stop by to say hello. 3 weeks ago we bought a 2002 1.8TDi Auto with 105,000 miles on the clock, (all apparently legit after checking the VOSA site) as a replacement for our 97 Alhambra which died a nasty Turbo death!The car was an absolute state inside, it was filthy and it reeked but was in good repair otherwise so just needed a damn good scrub. Likewise the outside was in need of TLC but generally good. Test drive was a dream no knocks, rattles or vibrations. After a week of cleaning and scrubbing we finally started using it then last week the drive shafts went! Was quoted Quote
gregers Posted February 6, 2012 Report Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) welcome to the forumwas this a private sale or from a dealer? and im sure its a 1.9 tdi. Edited February 6, 2012 by gregers Quote
CarlTaylor Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Posted February 6, 2012 Yeah it is a 1.9 that's a typo, fat fingers small phone! It was a private sale just bad luck really. The Alhambra had done over 250,000 and I had a Caddy van that had done nearly 300,000 with the same engine so I assumed rather naively that this one had nearly been run in! Have booked it in to my local garage for next Tuesday so hopefully we'll get to use her properly by the end of next week! Quote
