Beetlejuice

Thanks everyone for your comments. Been and viewed the car today. Test drove it and it all sounded great, no noises or rattles so no concerns about dmf, interior is virtually spotless, exterior has some stone chips but I expected that with 120k on it. Everything works as it should and belt/pump were both done circa 80k. Managed to get the price slightly lower so cash paid and the car is now mine - decent drive home (150 mile) with little traffic and even better hardly any fuel used I'm a happy bunny now

Cheers T2000, going to view it tomorrow. whats maxidot?

Are there any tell tale signs I could look out for on a test drive for the dmf? whats the correct mileage Gissin for a tdi? I only do around 7-8k a year.

Columbus Nav ?? just been reading a thread on DMF and have slight concerns now - woukd I be unlucky if this were to fail or are they common to go on these engines? it states only 1 owner and the dealer says they were an enthusiast who looked after the car - probably sales pitch I know but ......?

Thanks Redboy - I've never had a tdi before - what are the usual dpf/dmf niggles/issues? Is there a way of identifying these during a test drive? What do the wheel centre badges give away? The mods are only cosmetic but I like them, subtle and well done.

Hi everyone, my first post. i'm looking at this car and wondered if it had been an enthusiast car from here in the past or if anyone recognised it and may be able to vouch for it or make me aware of possible issues to look out for please?
