This Is all gold, thanks, the dsg clutch seems better news, I may budget for a new clutch and timing belt and seal, then the rest I can chip away at. Now it's how low I can get them down too.

Wow small world hey, ha ha ha Thanks for sending me that information. Super helpful. So I can understand better why does the haldex clutch plates need replacing what was happening with the car. Did you get a quote for this by any chance? What seal was nicked? Where do I look for the oil?

I have bought and restored old motorcycles from the 90's and am willing to learn about a new engine. So I am prepared to do some work on it to get it in a trustworthy and reliable state The car was a part ex, so I'm sure the dealer wants to move it on quickly.

OK so what I am hearing is check oil changes have been done on all of the drive line and that the haldex has been serviced. Salt roads are not a thing here luckily. Anything I should look out for when test driven. I've been told that the car has done big commutes 5 time a week hence the milage, which sounds best case scenario to me.

I'm yet to find the service records yet, but that is my next step. I thought I'd see if it was a major red flag first. (It has full service history, but ill need to investigate what and when things have been done) From what I have read, I'd want to check the timing belts been changed, and as you said the haldex serviced Is there anything I should look out for?

I have a chance to buy a face lift 103tdi 4x4 yeti for 3k aud but it has 400k km on the clock, others around 200k are around 9-12k from what I have seen. I am thinking of using it as my daily and something I can take light offroading. I'd like to go to the car yards and upgrade some bits and pieces as I go to make it better. (Would love some suggestions what to upgrade). So I have seen a yeti on YouTube 400k plus, is that a one off or will I still have life in it, I wouldn't mind later on getting a reconditioned 125kw/170bhp engine to swap in at a later point. Would love to hear everyone's insights to this.
