Thread: D2 TD5 longevity issues

thats the "maintenance list".....
the real money was in the "upgrade".

Im not complaining though. I found a 150k 2003 TD5 that I paid $15k for.
Its now almost as new, with all my mods, and has cost me $10k on top of that.

Well when you consider I've had our 2nd (we have 2) D2 TD5 Auto 170000 kms bought for a D1 TDI 3 door and 12k for about 6 months and have had an oil pump bolt go, and auto cooler hoses go leaving us stuck and requiring expensive tows. We've forked out plenty of money anyway, the oil pump stopped a 3 week holiday from happening.

I only wish I had the cash to prevent it like you have.
