I think the auto was simply more popular.

Head issues Early Td5's had plastic dowels in the heads but this was rectified I thought in later motors. Not sure what you are referring to.

I suspect that does refer to the plastic head dowels and this was in the 1999 - 2002 engines. Bit of searching: VIN range after 3A647706 had steel ones which actually includes some of the first of the 03MY. I suspect these may have been late 2002 release (first imports) as my D2 was a 3A8... VIN and was built in Feb 2003.

theres a really nice one in town for 32,,,




nice enough to swap fuels---------
