    Hi all.

    I'm close to pulling the trigger on a 162 VRS (diesel - 184bhp) and was just trying to do some last research on items to ask the dealer about in terms of known issues with them. There's a decent length warranty available with it, and the mileage is low, so that takes some pressure off, but just wondering if anyone has experience of any known problems with this model VRS.

    Things I've seen cropping up on other threads/forums are:
    - faulty water pump; and
    - door seals letting in water.

    Otherwise it seems to be just one off things and the general consensus is that they are quite reliable.

    Any thoughts? Thanks a million!

    There isn't much to be honest.

    Door seals is normally just blockages.

    The bag of silicone in the coolant expansion tank is worth removing.

    Earlier headunits can be a little glitchy but there's a few software updates.
