• Have I bought a weird VW? 13 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  Ladies and Gents, After much deliberation - I've sold my Pug and bought something a bit cheaper. The car in question is a Nov 1997 VW Passat S TDi 110. With 131,000 on the clock. It's got full service history with everything changed at the right times, and has been really well looked after by 1

  at the price it is going for (comparing to prices hot Mk1 and 2's fetch). My only problem (at 22 years old) would be insuring it, as it is group 14 - would any insurance comnpanies consider it a classic yet on a limited mileage policy?

• Passat TDI 100k miles - good idea?? 15 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  I was looking around at some cars this weekend (a garage that deals in high mileage ex-lease cars, all with FSH), with the intention of perhaps going for a 2000 - X-reg Mondeo 2.0 Zetec with 78k miles. However, I also saw an S-reg Passat TDI Sport with 100k miles. The Mondeo felt like it had done
• Diesel or petrol 29 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  else I should be considering or maybe someone has a link to a site that will help me make a decision. Do diesels require services more often? Does the cost of maintenance outweigh any benefit in fuel consumption? Just trying to get some answers to common questions I guess. Thx in advance. S.

• First new car 27 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  and then low insurance, good mpg, reliable and hold on to a lot of it's value. I would rather have a good car that loses a few grand in three years than buy a banger that loses all it's value and costs £100's to repair and insure etc. Cheers.

  After purchasing a 1993 TD Astra, I thought it would be a good idea to use Miller\'s Power Plus additive to give the engine a \'clean\'as it has been probably been neglected (it was only done 2k in thast 12 months!). Over two weeks, the car has done about 180 miles doing the school run, bobbing

• peugeot 306 1.9 DL MPG's ???? 22 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  I've just bought a 1998 'S' plate diesel (non turbo) 306. Currently I'm doing about 450 miles per week... approx 360 of those are a weekly commute from Sussex to Lincolnshire. My old 405 1.9 diesel (non turbo) estate with 120K miles on it easily returned 50 mpg on the same trip/conditions

  gaskets?) and that oil leaks were quite common on the 2.5/3.0 V6's and his advise was just to keep an eye on the oil level as fixing them would be fairly expensive. However, one annoying and sometimes embarrassing leak seems to dribble a few drops of oil onto the manifold (drivers side bank) which

  and must have been operated 1000's of times. I thought of using a light oil on the guides but considered this might be a bit messy, then I found a can of spray silicon oil which is not like oil as it seems to evaporate.

• Steering problems 21 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  nothing to me, but he explained that its a problem with the steering, but not the steering rack, and he understands that it is a known problem with 525's.

• Worn crankshaft 16 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  I had a problem with my S reg 1.9 turbo diesel 306, the crankshaft pulley came loose. When I phoned the garage to find out how the repair was going I heard a mechanic tell the person I was speaking to that the engine was knackered. I asked what this was about and she said someone will call me back
• Volvo S60 4 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  . On looking up the T5's stats it sounds fairly impressive and certainly looks more than capable of whooping the local neds on my often crazy drive home from work on the late shift.
