No chance of turbo going with no turbo, I'm getting a 1.9 cdti diesel vectra.

Sorry to break it to you, but a 1.9cdti has a turbo! Common rail Diesel Turbo Injection...

JoshBee25

That's a choice in recent conversation my original plan Was a 1.8 Sri but I get double the miles in the 1.9 cdti

My mistakes sorry

JoshBee25

Also it's not as if it's a mg turbo or 106 hit turbo

It's a type of turbo injection not a turbo on the engine

Well good luck to you and dont crash it/hit another vehicle.

I think your issue here is that you're buying a 1.9L car - when I first passed my test, I would only be allowed a 1.0L Nissan Micra - lovely car to drive.

Now we have a 1.2L Nissan Micra (4 years in)- cheaper for maintenance/road tax and insurance.

I would recommend you set your sights on a much smaller car to avoid the £2,800 insurance bill as that is just crazy money - think of how many days work you need to do to earn that much, that's around 2 months work (excluding any interests!)

Are pigs still taking to the wing over your way Josh?

Turbo injection, not an engine turbo??????

The 1.9 150 CDTI suffers from many common, very expensive faults.

The dual mass fly wheel goes anywhere between 35-70,000 miles and costs upwards of £1500, the egr valve is also a common failure point and costs around £500 and that's without the cam belt and swirl valve failures.

Even if this fantasy loan came off, I think Josh would be driving a money pit.

have a look here

Not to mention a blocked DPF if only used for short trips (which appears to be the case with josh). They NEED a good blast up the motorway every week.

JoshBee25

Well that's something I'll have to deal with when I have the car, tell me one car that doesn't have faults.
