Right so you wont regret after ... i have 3.0tdi . City mpg 25 max , motoway around 40 .
I love mine as it has lots of power and i dont mind the fuel consumption but if you coming from smaller engine car that might a shock for the wallet . Also road tax mine is £305. I belive bmk motors were above 225g so thats £500 tax .
Ask them why the car didnt have mot in 2015-2016 and it looks like its been of the road for some time in that period .
Also check the mot reports for each year as it had a lot of things to be fixed
You are correct . It fitts pre facelifted model but you need : new crash bar, modify fog lights from h7 to h11, extend washers , new fog grills , new sliders, ... :)
You need the car to be up tp temperature to check if the smoke is there . Also the car is without dpf so it will smoke :). I have 3.0 tdi asb and on hard acceleration it smokes back a bit .
Re injectors you can check using vcds to get rough indication but best way to check is to take them out on a test bench.
Ok so in c6 you have 3 types of 3.0tdi
2004- 2006 - BMK engine mostly relible but is known from injector problems and timing chain rattle as the top tensioners are weak
Late 2006 - 2008 - ASB engine improved injectors and timing chanin issues resolved ( better but not perfect )
And then 2009 facelifted 3.0tdi that is an improved unit .
Um testing liqi moly injector cleaner. I took fuel and injectors values with vcds( group 13,14 and 73-77) and added the cleaner to a full tank. Will report back when the tank is empty
