So I picked it up today, car was still dirty so I told them its not going anywhere until its cleaned and they didnt have my deposit so ill go back monday for that too.
But its such a nice car to drive! The deisel really has some grunt to it too! Happy to have it, now if the fiesta sells we will be laughing as I dont want all these cars when the baby arrives in november!

iTS Very cheap,and looks very good,so I think worth checking out ASAP.Jettas are great,as they come feature packed.What do you drive at the moment,and what others,if any,are you considering ???

Missus wanted a mk4 bora 4 motion but then saw the jetta tdi and took one for a test drive and she loved it. I drive a mk4 golf.

If its a BKD engine have a look at the tandem pump on the end of the head for leaking past the gasket, telltale is diesel smell or wet from oil on and below the pump.
Also grab a mirror and have a look behind the egr valve on the intake, the diaphragm splits and leaks oil.
Congrats tho, sounds like a nice buy!
