even a new car, the bumper will look a very slight different colour with the factory paint. I've no idea why, I read it's something to do with it being plastic. Was evident on the Vectra as well.

I bought my 2013 2.0 CDTi SE in 2014 with 33k on the clock. Over the following 4.5 years I put a further 55k on it, and over that period it averaged around 42mpg. Apart from tyres, brakes, new battery and replacement tailgate opener it was trouble free, and I've now passed it to my daughter's boyfriend. He's had the timing belt and water pump replaced, and it still goes like a dream. Good luck with your new acquisition.2018 1.5T SRi Nav

Originally posted by johngrant1980 View PostI think she's had a new engine.. It's got 42k on the clock and it had the oil changed last week. I've covered about 300 miles and usually the oil goes black by then. It's clean as a whistle (not complaining!) But every other diesel I've had normally doesn't stay so clean at that mileage unless it's new. She certainly looks spotless under the bonnet! Certainly a keeper.

Could just be me but it's either been well looked after or recently been swapped out.

Originally posted by johngrant1980 View PostI could be wrong but I've never known an derv engine at 42k have perfectly clean oil after a few hundred miles. Every time I've changed the oil it normally goes black pretty much after a few miles. This has kept super clean just like it's come out of the showroom and the whole appearance of it looks whistle clean, labels and everything are like new.
