Not me unfortunately, but I can tell you it doesn't have an e-diff.

Out of curiosity, how can you tell?

Sorry, Dandenong is closer to you than me.

Does the pic of the instruments with a date of 8/1/2013 mean that the was when it was built or first started and the ODO of 347043 kms is rather high?

[Graeme]

It's a 2015 model so maybe the default date when the battery is reconnected.
347K - my son's 3.0 (was mine) siezed 2 days ago with a little over 310K, presumably having spun a big-end bearing.

If you look closely you can see the car is sitting 5mm higher than normal. That's a sure sign that an e-diff is fitted.
Nah! Just made that up. I checked the VIN on Genesis which is part of the Nanocom licence.

[Bohica]

Na just joking. I was very tempted at the price, but without a good look I could just be buying trouble. Lovely colour.

[veebs]

Even with a little trouble, someone got a cracking deal I think!

Don't say that Graeme! My MY14 D4 TDV6 is at 355,000km (owned from new). I was hoping that risk of crank failure was long behind me!

Confirmed that a bearing has spun by finding metallic glitter in a small oil sample. 30K estimate for a fitted reconditioned engine plus turbos etc as required.

I suggest that the sump be removed and the big-end bearings be replaced as a priority.

[Eric SDV6SE]

That's not good news,but 30kseems very high, especially if things like turbo's and other ancillaries could potentially be re used.
