Ok, been looking for a few months and missed a few due to Covid rules but this little gem was local to me and today a deal was done.
It's a 90tdi. I think sport from the spec. It has sports seats with lumbar, sports steering wheel and did have 17" wheels according to the sticker codes. Currently sitting on 15" and I like that as my back is old! No climate but there is an eco button so think it has air con. Too cold to check if it's working right now.
There are a few jobs to do. The eml is intermittent so the vv on the turbo will need a clean. It also has intermittent sensor with oil symbol in the dis. Not sure what that involves, oil level is good.
Coolant bottle is very dirty. I did suspect head gasket but no mayor on the oil filler cap. I will flush and put fresh pink in and see how it goes. Maybe someone put blue anti freeze in sometime as this causes a horrible brown sludge, seen that before. Full service on the jobs list and cam belt.
Door strap is clunky. I will need to fix. Who does the replacement here?
Filler release button and the one above are both missing their covers. Anyone have replacements?
Handbrake travel is excessive and brakes at bit soft. Full service pending. Rear brakes are disks.
Body is very good. Couple of very minor scuffs but no dents or lacquer peel. Headlamps are a bit frosted but I have a polishing kit.
Rear axle beam was an advisory on the last mot so I will probably get it blasted and coated.
All in all, nice tidy car that appears to have been well cared for.
Thanks to Seb on here who sold her to me.
