what to look for when buying a mk6 tdci ZS?
okay guys & gals, im very soon going to be shopping for a ZS tdci.

its got to have the following

full leather,

heated windscreen,

service history

and everything must work.

what other things should i look out for?

is there any common faults that i should be aware of or has anything needed replacing under warranty or will need attention in the near future?

ive heard that the 1.6 tdci duratorq has had some faults with the pump and injector seals? how common is this and when does it occur for eg after 80'000 miles say?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance

Jay

They like to blow the injector seals which obviously causes lack of power and running issues as well as possibly spewing diesel in and around the engine bay
