Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Exhaust recirculation valve went at 40,000m, but had been on the way out for a while due to the feel of judering at low speed and gentle pulsing at high speed which was very noticable when the part gave up the ghost. At 43,000m main ECU went costing £327.
Other
Cam sensor.
