c 30 1.6d 2007 what to look for
I am going to look at a 1.6d 2007 C30.
Is there any thing in particular I should look out for, I have an 2007 s40 1.6d so I presume it is pretty much the same... Tony |

You're not going to find much different between those two models. Same car, different body style to a large extent.

Hi there,
As Iain has said they are essentially the same car underneath. I'd just be keen to look at the previous service intervals to ensure that the oil has been changed regularly. These engines can suffer from sludge issues with the oil, as I'm sure you know, so I'd want to make sure that the service intervals have been stuck to. Going forward I'd change the oil and filter every 6 months or so and run some flushing oil through at the same time. J |
