Thread: Urgent Advice needed

Everything is normal. Td5 or tdi300? If td5 the fuel leak could be expensive. Need more details on asking price, year, model and general condition.

fuel leak at filter
oil leak front of transfere case

My question is, should i continue to purchase this? is so what should i expect to knock off for the work?

Are these problems really bad?

other samll problems noted

cracks in aux drive belt
play in wiper linkage
surface rust at front cross member
real door seals worn

So is the engine rear main or the gearbox input seal leaking?
Gearbox layshaft bearings may be worn
Others are typical and should be easy fixes.

How bad are the oil leaks???

How many km and what model? As above, they are fairly typical. However the engine or gearbox will have to come out to fix the oil seal. Worth haggling a bit off the price on that basis though.

T/case filler plug is a bitch, so probably normal. Also a bit awkward to get at so hard to get a good position to really give it a go... Can't help with anything else though.

How mank K's has it done?

Cheers
