*Help Needed* Going to look at V70 Tdi
 
Hi Guys,

Going to look at a 1998 V70 Tdi with 240k on it.

What to look out for and what to ask!!
Faults i know about already;
Aircon needs regassing (Maybe owner not looked into it)
Cruise control (Maybe a fuse)

Ours has just turned 245k, bought at 190k.

Issues that have been sorted in the last 55k miles:-

Timing belts change, cambelt (plus waterpump), fuel pump belt and auxillary belt.
Auxillary tensioner
Cleaned out the inlet manifold/EGR valve
Steering rack
Front wishbones
Sump gasket
Shocks have gone extremely soft
Brakes discs/pads
Regular servicing

Hopefully the above list will help you a little.
