What is it in the ad? 2.5 V6 TDI isn't known as the best engine in the world... Might have been swapped to a 1.9 TDI for better reliability + cheaper tax or it's just been changed on the logbook for cheaper tax and still has a 2.5 TDI under the bonnet.

colm_mcm · 18-02-2015 11:47PM

Should be 1896 if its a 1.9 tdi?
Pure tax scam, false declaration etc

Revenue should spot check these and crush them

Marty McFly · 19-02-2015 12:41AM

That's exactly what it was no mention of it on the ad, it was the 180bhp and tax of 673 that made me check numbers didn't add up.

Got the usual response 2.5 engine 1.9 on the logbook cheap tax. Shame as it was a decent looking car.

Noccy_Mondy · 19-02-2015 02:29AM

Ya meant to mention fuel creeping up. One station was at 117.9, now it's at 125.9. Should we prepare for it to skyrocket again?

Mycroft H · 19-02-2015 05:45AM

It's always going to go up long term. Enjoy it while it lasts

Ya, I knew it was inevitable, I'm just not prepared for it to go up now!

I reckon the rise at the amount is down to the weak euro more than oil prices.

Toyotafanboi · 19-02-2015 09:31AM

novice question here :P

the celica has 18" wheels, (235/40/18) iirc. i want to check the pressure in them today, but what is a good pressure for a tyre that size? is 32/30 psi still good guideline or is more better?

the biggest stock wheel that came on the celica was a 17" and the manual recommends 39/37 psi for those.

MuppetCheck · 19-02-2015 09:37AM

Slightly different, but my 225/40/18 are about 33psi from the book.

Depending on the maker of the tyres a lot of them have charts online with pressures for specific cars.

The 2.5 is leaps and bounds ahead of any 1.9 i've ever owned or driven,what actual real world experience are you basing this ' isn't known as the best engine in the world' on?

The feckin Greeks! As much as you might say fair play to them for standing up for themselves, they have a lotta people nervous about the euro. Even apart from quantitive easing.

Oil deprivation
Piston rings wearing out
Cam chain jumping
Injector failure
Engine overheating
Fuel pump failure

This is all too common. This engine is rare here, so you don't hear about these issues, but in Eastern Europe, a lot of VAG cars have this engine and the problems are widely known.

Same with the N47 Timing Chain. Not really huge in Eastern Europe, as most of E60/E90 models are x25d/x30d/x35d, but here, all of them really are N47 diesels.

As for the engine, its an XUD9TE, turbo is a garrett GT2259v, mutant 10mm pump... Give it a wee bit extra grunt

It's funny my one never suffered from any of those problems, i did extensive research on them and only found two of those problems to be common and one of those problems was only suffered by a certain engine code.
