Far from a deal breaker in this part of the world. Nice example, and one of the best shapes of that era in estate.

Its a lovely shape alright, very timeless and classy. You're right, its one of the best shapes of many an era.

Agreed, very classy and sits lovely on those RS6 wheels. I typed in the details into an insurance website and it’s coming back as being the 170 bhp variant. Not sure if that’s good or bad

What's the hoohah about it being the 2.0l instead of the 1.9l?

I've seen it all the time, but never seen a reasoning for it.

Oil pump failure resulting in written off engines very common in the first couple of years of the 2.0. you'd have to check any VAG with a 2.0 to see if it has an effected engine code. I think I read the 170 wasn't effected but worth looking into.

Back in the day they had oil pump issues with the drive mechanism for said pump.

The 170s had Siemens injectors issues that were bad enough to create a recall.

Some of them had cylinder heads go pourous too.

This is on the PD 2.0

On a 13 year old car, wouldn't any issues have presented before this, and you're taking a risk on any parts failing now?

I ran a 07 A3 2.0 tdi years ago and bar an egr dying it was flawless. My other half had an 06 A3 2.0 tdi too and it never let us down in 3 years of ownership. Flywheel was beginning to rattle when I sold it but it still had plenty left in it. They are very good on diesel. Noisy though.

Same issues unfortunately. On this particular motor, there is a twin balance shaft setup inside the sump that is either chain or gear driven. The former was more troublesome as both the chain tensioner and the hex drive key could cause issues, worst case resulting in failed turbo and ultimately death to engine. The precursor for this is a red oil pressure warning light. See this, stop immediately and you should be OK. The later model had the same balance shaft assembly but was gear driven, eliminating the tensioner as a fail point but the hex key remained. Sad to think that a 5€ part could kill an engine.

All that aside, they sold millions on units, many of which never caused trouble. But it was well documented across multitude of fora on the issue. Would not put me off in the slightest in this price range. If you hear any rattles from underneath, then that'll be the chain slack on the drive sprockets - in which case, walk away

That's horrendous and not just the price

I'd drive it.

It'd kill me to pay 2k for an 03 polo though.

fairly high mileage, but a decent price. What's the tax on it ?

Is it just me or is the quality of cars popping up in this thread after improving in the last 6 months? Is this because of Brexit-imports, PCP finance on newer cars etc?

I have a bit of a soft spot for these. Owned one a good few years back and it never let me down once. I always think they fly under the radar a little when people are looking for Jap reliability (Corolla/Civic)
Maybe I got lucky with my one and they are not that good?
A lot cheaper than a similar year Corolla anyway!

I like those Lancers too, they're nice to drive but definitely don't feel as nice inside as an equivalent Corolla. Grand cars though overall. The Lancer name gets a bit of a bad rap from previous models loved by boy racers and the likes

wonski

They are just boring, the Lancers.Poorly equipped and outdated.
