pistonbroke Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 I would tell him £ 1500 for it , but then I was always a tight **** Quote
Paul Aspden Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Sounds ok to me, but then I do 1000 miles a week in my car, so always buy high mileage to start with as they are affordable and my adding mileage doesn't impact on their value. Currently run a 2.0tdi Jetta of 2006 vintage, with 169,000 on its back, but got out of a Passat of the same age with 278k...though I did kill this one, suffered massive engine failure, but still worth £1800 to the nice polish man who bought it via ebay....so £1800 for a car that runs is a bargain!!!! Disposable motoring, its the only way to go in my world Quote
Pantherman Posted August 12, 2014 Author Posted August 12, 2014 Well managed to negotiate the price down so I have ordered the pipe and slippers and will be a third car so it won't be getting used every day,just felt it was to good to pass up on. Quote
simon besant Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Just listen for a chuffing noise or if you can lift the top engine cover up and make sure there is no carbon deposits around any of the injectors Common for the injector seat to leak and can lead to a new cylinder head in the worst cases Otherwise pretty bulletproof if it has been looked after Quote
Pantherman Posted August 13, 2014 Author Posted August 13, 2014 Yes ,know about the injector seals they are ok on this car however the seals are very cheap but I think it takes about 2 hrs to change each injector seal ! Good job my best mate is a MB technician ! Quote
Ian Podmore Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Given the number of galactic mileage Merc's I've been in as taxi's overseas, I can't see there will be much of an issue. Quote
