About to buy a V50 sport HELP!
Hi folks
I'm about to go and have a look at at V50 sport diesel, 55plate with 130tho on the clock. I'm know to look to see if its had a new DMF but what else? Should i walk away now? Most i've seen have moon miles. What to do? |

Check for obvious warning msgs on the dash and walk away if there are any that point to the electrics!
Good engine though the diesel, hopefully serviced well given the mileage.

Check its had the top tensioner sprung pulley changed for a fixed pulley and stretchy belt otherwise it squeals like mad in the mornings when its slightly damp!
Obviously check for VSH if any Rgds J |

- Cambelt + tensioner - Fuel Filter - New front Disks - Rubber bushes on front control arms a tad loose For a car with that kind of mileage the clutch was perfect. I'd had no DMF issues or EGR issues. I'd easily have kept it for another 50,000 miles if I didnt spot a T5 for sale!! Happy motoring =) |
