I know there has been a lot of dicsussion regarding D2 TD5 Auto faults in a number of threads but is there a central listing for all potential faults so one can carry out all preventative measures before taking on a trip.
I need to decide soon whether it is worth keeping the D2 with 150000 km on it , as I've done a few things to upgrade and get prepped for trips and repairs also.
The repairs I can recall having done or read about are;
1. Auto replaced under warranty at 70000km. Had a strange vibration when locking up in high under light load. Done under warranty.Had ongoing probs for some time with M&S lights but probably due to dodgy mech work in refitting wiring.
2. Fuel line over tank split. Done under warranty.
3. Harmonic balancer disentergated at at about 100000kms. Just came off and engine vibrated badly.
4. Engine fuel injection block? Replaced.
5. 4 new shockers at 138000 km.
6 Replace radiator. Not mine but heard it should be done.
7. Transmission line fail at crimp joint. Mine.
8. Fuel pump failure.
9. Rotors replaced at 130000 km.
10. Air suspension bags and pump?
I will do a search and see what else I can find.
May be time to upgrade to a D3 TDV6 ?
