Hi, bought a tdi90 about two months ago via ebay! Think I rushed into it after being gazumped on a red colour storm in Bradford, still gutted as love the storm.
Its low miles at 78k, but only after agreeing to buy did I realise there was no history, only one key, and a verbal, "cambelt was done at 60k"
To be fair the previous owner had it for 7yrs and iv since done 2k in it with no problems.
Any how the key issue dosent worry me, I love the looks and never realised they had bench seats until missing out on the storm.
I intent to run it until it or me dies. However it scares me whitless! always looked after my cars myself and have use of works workshop at wkends and nts! but it feels not unlike a Kawasaki 500 triple to drive!!!! I honestly think its going to explode! even 2k and 2months of running has'ent led me to trust it.
Iv got: oil around the egr Vv, oil in the pipe to the intercooler. although it pulls strong and I have no warnings up.?
at tickover its perfect until I let out the clutch when theres a grumbling noise. no take up of drive issues or clutch not releasing issues.
Q, do these just require getting used to? and like a 2 stroke triple they've got charm??
Finally does every one suffer with a radio reception worse than a £2 tandy hand held?
Oh and ace forum,
One very last thing any trusted experts in the south yorks area?
Regards Lee.
