    Good find, the filth of the inside though. I don't know how people drive around in that grime.

    Surprisingly, women seem to be worse when it comes to keeping a car clean (except for my wife).
    I know it’s a generalisation but they seem to view cars as simply a means rather than an end.
    Men get attached to cars.

    Yep, sure I seen this fella on some tv show that fell in love with his car and was out tongue kissing it on his driveway.

    I think I’ve seen worse than that and it involved the (cars) exhaust pipe.

    There was a show on OCD and ones that fall intimately involved in objects, not human objects either.....

    One would even have sex with his car think it was a Corsa or Astra

    Don't think the make of car has any relevance in that situation to be honest dude.

    Maybe not but it could have been an Opel or vauxhall thing.....

    If they call that clean, how bad is the rest of it? A cheap valet would've done wonders!

    Needs work. He reckons it's a simple one pipe change which I doubt or he would have got it done.

    Nice. Have a 9-5 myself, but this has a few extras that mine doesn't. The seller is the latest owner, having had the car since 25/11/2020. Wonder why she didn't like it?

    A nice set of mercedes wheels which there seems to be plenty on adverts and you'd have a very nice little run around.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,328 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    Remap might be due too, they’re only around 110bhp which isn’t great for a 2.0 these days but was probably ok back then.

    How much is usually here a remap without dyno test?
    .In spain for my golf v tdi was 300 euros
    105 to 140 cv..totally a different car


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,328 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    A 2.0 TDI stage 1 (approx 3 hours work) with rolling road from TDR Performance is approx €380
    A generic map without dyno would be a good bit less than that.

    If thats the CVT box, i'd save the money for a reconditioned ECU at some point - its a common weak spot in them.



    But at that money, hardly a deal breaker. It made it this far.

    I honestly never realised there was a 3 door version of that mercedes.
