    Advice on buying a D2

    Hi All,
    I am currently the owner of a 95 300TDI, but I have recently been offered a 2000 TD5 for $4k (although this is negotiable).
    It has a bout 290k on the clock, with ARB front bar & Warn winch. It looks pretty good in the pics that I have been sent too. The big issue is that it apparently has a stuffed front transmission seal. I am not very mechanically minded (can do a few basics) - just wondering what sort of cost this may run into to fix? Obviously I plan to take a closer look before I make any silly offers
    :-p
    From what I have been told the TD5 has more power & torque than the 300TDI, with similar economy (which would be great on the daily commute). Advice please?
    Cheers, Paul.

    With 290K on the clock it may be more than a transmission seal. The early ZF22 transmissions usually start giving trouble around the 250k mark. It will cost around 6 to8K for a rebuild walk in walk out.

    If it is just a seal it will be box out job so probably 6 to 800 at least i would think I would be finding out from the current owners if the trans has already been replaced or if it is the original

    Lucky for me the previous owner reckoned the ZF auto just before I bought it. Auto and Converter recondition = $4,600.
