No worries lad thanks for the advice anywaysJust dont is all i can say i had a 2010 1.6 tdi golf it was a totall lemmon was in the garage every week with yet another problem.
Edit: Woops just noticed the date a bit late i know but warning still stands.
I’ve worked on the 6 series, rear brake calipers are a weak point, also rust has been a failing point but may be a general problem.Any 1 ever had a 05/06 Mazda 3 1.6 petrol/diesel car or know if they are any good ?..
My wife used to have a 09 1.6 petrol, had no problems with it. Think it’s the same as a 06. They’re good value secondhand.Any 1 ever had a 05/06 Mazda 3 1.6 petrol/diesel car or know if they are any good ?..
How would they compare to a 01 Toyota avensis ?
How would they compare to a 01 Toyota avensis ?
In what way? Driver involvement? interior spec? style?
Most things are better than an 01 a eventless
But in terms of reliability it's hard to beat one, very simple car to work on too.
So the VW golf is a total no no robbie you reckon ? I was thinking of a 1.4 petrol 05 to 08 ?
I had an 08 1.9 diesel from new until 2016 I put 280,000 km on her, the turbo was replaced under warranty because the emission light came on, I still reckon it wasn't the turbo that was at fault. At about 7 years old the passenger door wouldn't unlock. There was a few bushings replaced and that was about all. I wouldn't say they are badAre VW golfs really that bad ?
1.9’s were a great engine, the 1.6 not so muchI had an 08 1.9 diesel from new until 2016 I put 280,000 km on her, the turbo was replaced under warranty because the emission light came on, I still reckon it wasn't the turbo that was at fault.

I put 215k km on a 05 1.9 from new, it needed the dmf (Dublin traffic!), new starter and radiator, I put 130k km on a 2011 1.6 (again from new, but was driven by my wife for its first 2 years, she did very little mileage) it had the egr valve replaced under warranty, my current one is a 2016 1.6 bought it last year @ 3 years old, ex pcp with 28k km on it, with covid I've only put 15k km on it, they have gotten very expensive new, hence the 2nd hand one this time, nice cars, the current one is loaded with spec but it will probably be my last one, they are getting lower and less comfortable for the commute, there again I've been working from home since March so if this continues I'll have the current one for a good while yet!I had an 08 1.9 diesel from new until 2016 I put 280,000 km on her, the turbo was replaced under warranty because the emission light came on, I still reckon it wasn't the turbo that was at fault.
