That's ridiculous, I feel for you - so glad you realised what was going on. It's a horrible situation to find yourself in. I've never enjoyed advertising and selling cars due to stories like this.

Mods - apologies if not totally relevant here but thought it was worth sharing my experience as i nearly got scammed today when attempting to sell my D3.... 1. Advertised car on Autotrader. 2.

HTH

Ive used nothing else for 10 years, apart from when ive been away and not ben able to get it. The difference is noticeable. The car seems more responsive and efficient.

Never user supermarket furl as it has a high biodiesel content and this is not good for your engine or exhaust system...

Good luck with the sale. Mine is going up soon too.

Hi that is the recommended service interval for replacement however if it aint broke, dont fix it. Theyve been known to last for hundreds of thousands of miles if well looked after, ie theyve been regularly able to regenerate and the correct oil has been used in the car. If you should choose to repl...
