Morning All,

 

I'm looking at replacing my ageing 406 2.2Hdi and a vRS oil burner keeps calling to me. The last time i went looking for a car i managed to find sites for both Ford and Peugeot that listed the spec for individual models based on the reg number or VIN. Is there anything like that for the vRS, as the base spec seems to vary with the MY and the packs plus the optional extras and i'm not so sure the listing on Autotrader etc are always correct.

 

I do about a 15 mile commute on mostly A/B roads with light traffic that takes around 25m each way so im guessing the DPF shouldn't struggle too much (it curiously went missing on the 406...). At a push, i could let SWMBO take it on a 120 mile round trip commute to Heathrow once in a while!

 

On a related note, is there anything (apart from the potential rear end noise, that i should look out for on the 4x4 version? I had originally discounted the DSG as i've always been wary of auto boxes but reading up seems to suggest they have moved on a hell of a lot and then the current weather got me thinking of the 4x4.

 

Finally, what are the extras you really wish you had or make the most use of?

 

Many thanks in advance!

 

Cheers

Nat

 

 

I love my DSG box.  Would never go back to DIY gears.
