Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- Timing chain: Listen for a metallic rattle from a cold start. A rattle is a bad result. Replacement 600-1,000 EUR (Gebrauchtwagenberater, year not stated).
- Easytronic: Drive it from cold. Slow shifts, jerking, a flashing F or no gear selection are bad results. Use a scanner; codes need a Tech2. Repair 300-700 EUR (Gebrauchtwagenberater, year not stated).
- Steering rack: With the engine running, turn the wheel while stationary. A knock or play is a bad result.
- Brake lines: Look at the steel lines above the fuel tank and along the floor. Heavy rust or damp patches are a bad result.
- Exhaust: Inspect the rear silencer and the pipe near the fuel filler neck. Rust holes are a bad result. Rear silencer about 225 EUR (Germany, 2003).
- Oil pressure switch: Check the switch for oil mist or drips. Replacement 30-80 EUR (Gebrauchtwagenberater, year not stated).
