You only need two tools in life: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.

I really just don't understand and can't get my head around the fact that the 2.4 litre engine was available from 75PS and yet this "same" engine as a 137PS is so much trouble mechanically :?: :roll: :?
Which one is the most reliable :?: The 90PS/115PS :?:

I BELIEVE YOU :!:
It's just that I'm wondering if they've changed the design and messed up the reliability or the engine simply can't handle 137PS :?:

mate its very strange, maybe there is to much beeing asked of the engine :? you dont here much about the 2ltr its mostly 2.4 :? i still cant understand why you have 2ltr fwd and 2.4rwd both engines are the same output and touqe :? :? so why not just keep the 2ltr :?

I am very tempted with the new shape.

Not seen it in the flesh yet, but like the pics.

Mine might be up for sale if i can get a good deal.

I had every option on my mark 6 TDCI, including traction assist and AIRCON!
