Common fault at higher miles on TDI donks, although I've not had one fail yet - the Ibiza one did look like it was on its last legs though, but then that had done over 170k in its defence, (and still put up with being mapped to over 170bhp and then being abused on a daily basis). :-D -- JackH

I am 6'6" and would be more than happy to nab his car for a long journey. If that is of any help. |
