Advice, buyers guides, 2.0 petrol turbos and many more questions
Posted: Sun Apr 09, 2023 3:25 pm
Just joined today (posted a hi and what I am up to).
In summary, bought a green 2.1 TD estate to save but the underfloor and structure are just too far gone for anyone other than a hardcore enthusiast with a MIG welder for a heart!!
Still want an XM estate, so looking at a silver 2.0 turbo petrol one this week which seems in much much better condition.
Whilst I am browsing the forum, searching for info etc, I wondered if:
- There is a detailed buyers guide anywhere? I am not inexperienced but would like to find all the little nuances to look for as didn't do so well on the green one (but knew it was a risk and it is a complete and working car)
- Is there a right up anywhere on the 2.o petrol turbo engine? I am much less familiar with this unit
Any help would be very appreciated.
