Audi A4 TDi with a fresh NCT for 950. A few interior pics wouldn't go amiss but it looks very straight for the money

Think the price is a bit sticky on that Civic considering the fairly unsightly damage and it's only tested via covid extension.

I had a 2.2d but they were a lovely yoke to drive. No end of them in that colour either you'd pull two doors to match out of any decent breakers I reckon for very little. You'd have a fine car for a little over 2k + tax.

The diesels still go for a fair chunk more and it's a lot easier to replace two doors than the extra 100k miles on most of them.

The PSA 1.6 diesel is a ticking time bomb when the maintenance has not been done. Could run grand one day and be a 2,000 euro engine out job the next day, and I'm speaking from experience , avoid that car like the plague

Yep, a quick look on Carzone has the cheapest one at €3.5k ranging up to €6k.

I haven't found that at all. You may have been unlucky, any engine that's been horsed by a previous owner is a ticking timebomb, but the 1.6 HDi is generally rock solid, especially compared to lots of the competition.

Not sure what you're laughing at, they give a way less trouble than the 1.6 / 2.0tdi anyway.

Back in the 1.9tdi days you wouldn't look sideways at them but those days are gone, sadly.

Not Peugeot's fault VW managed to make a bollocks of something they had down to a fine art.

If you think the 1.6HDi is a solid engine then you're away with the fairies. I've worked in Peugeot and it's the one engine I always tell people to avoid.

Well then you surely know if they are minded and looked after properly the DV6 is not that bad.... There's worse out there.

I've seen cars serviced on the exact intervals or before fail due to EGR problems. Peugeot are massively underrated by many in my opinion, especially when it comes to the 2.0 HDi, but that 1.6HDi was a horrible engine.

Hence why i said minded and looked after properly.... I tend to ignore manufactures service intervals.... Not real world maintenance intervals at all.... Dropping the sump every now and again is always a good idea...

No mention of mileage after all the time the seller took to write the description.

I guess super high as it is very competitively priced.

Super, super high.

Edit: well it actually 166k based on the photo...

Interesting.

Mileage is in the pictures uploaded 166,900. Guess its KM as Speedo is KM but you never know :rolleyes:

How many 2011 Mazdas 6 under 2k are on the market?

I find it a little bit too cheap. And it isn't the mileage as I originally thought.

Unless they are pure ****e and nobody wants them?

I don't think I would go to see it, I expect some issues are present.

bazz26 · 25-11-2020 05:35PM

Seems a bit expensive to me, a nearly 10 year old petrol automatic costing €750 to tax isn't very desirable. It's no bargain in my view.

Its a 2Ltr petrol automatic Mazda 6 coming up on 10 years old with a 750 euro tax bill each year and probably pretty bad fuel economy. Its not exactly a highly sought after combination. I have same shape Mazda 6 1.8 petrol and its not exactly easy on the fuel and the build quality is average at best and its not particularly practical. Reliable engine though, I'll say that much.

It seems an honest enough ad to me. He just wants rid. Hence the price.

Have to agree with Oops!

Serviced properly and actually used like a diesel should be used. (Not just into town and back!) They are as reliable as any other modern diesel.

Iv had a Fiesta with a 1.6TDCI and it had 205k miles, drove with no issues...

That engine is in everything from Berlingos, Volvos, Mini, Suzuki to Fords. Its a very common engine so you will hear horror stories.

There's plenty people running north of 150bhp in them reliably!

What are you droning on about? Is it Peugeot 1.6 HDI? V.W. 1.6? V.W. 2 litre? or V.W. 1.9?
Anyway I stand with the majority, the 1.6 PEUGEOT HDI is an absolute ball of ****e, nobody should have to be dropping the sump to clean out baked in crud this day and age, you'll be recommending decoking the cylinder head next maybe lap in a few valves with a suction tool while the head is off for good measure..

Really? You don't have to but a trained eye will tell exactly how the engine has been serviced and looked after....
