Hi, thinking of buying a mk6 350 115ps ef luton, '06 plate. Its done 130k, looks nice from pics, and is £6k, which to me sounds ok. Can you tell me what to look out for when inspecting it? Any common problems, I'm paranoid about head gaskets and cracked engine as I bought an Iveco daily in march and after 1 month it used almost a whole tank of water, garage couldn't find any leaks so said it must be the engine,don't want a repeat of that, bloody nightmare. How do you check for engine problems? I'm thinking of getting an AA or RAC mechancic to do a vehicle check, all I know about vans is they have wheels and they (hopefully) move.
