It seems that the CDTi engine in any form is a good one When I worked for the council I drove a Combo 1.3 CDTi, it seemed dangerously underpowered and very laggy.

Sham Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 The small capacity diesel engines are only any use if you spend most of the day at cruising speed - same is true of my 1.6 Octavia... It's great, but I wouldn't be of the same opinion if I needed brisk acceleration frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rave Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Anyone got any sympathy for this presumably soon-to-be-ULEZ-victim fishface? Rather sun faded for sale sign in the rear window suggests that the seller has not been inundated with people keen to hand over their asking price, and the tax is up at the end of the month, so they might take a bid? MOT history suggests that it'll still be on less than 60,000 miles. Only one advisory last time, O/S sill, which looks to me like it'd still only be an advisory: It's a 1.25 16V rather than a cruddy Endura. Does need a new tailgate though really: Anyway it's a 7 minute bike ride from my house and if anyone fancies it I'd be delighted to act as middleman / delivery driver for my usual consideration of a bit of beer money.
