Other than that though, cracking cars and great value for money
Not had so many 1.6 TDCi's and [touch wood] they don't seem to be as troublesome from what I've seen
We've got about 50 or so (mk2 - new shape) 1.6's in our fleet at work, 90% have had to have the turbo pipe replaced on services, i was just unlucky enough to borrow the one that had never been serviced for the day
Bit worrying about the 2.0TDCi though, as mine's rapidly approaching 30k since last may. At least it's fleet maintained though. But i already spent one friday night this year sat by the M1 waiting for the RAC
