“Great little runner Combo 1.3cdti 2009”

★★★★★

written by Bailee341 on 26/09/2019

I bought my 2009 ex-BT van with 110,000 miles on it. The turbo actuator wastegate valve was stuck which is a common problem. Easy fix which took ten minutes with ramps, WD40, and a long screwdriver. It goes like a little dream. very comfortable (I'm 5`9") and economical. I drive approx 160 miles a day to and from work with a heavy load in it and it`s now just coming up to 140,000 miles and still runs like a watch. If you can do basic maintenance and change your oil and filters etc every 6000 miles it will last a long time and it is much more responsive than the old 1.7 diesel Isuzu (I had one). Timing chains will break if you run them low on oil or neglect and abuse the engine. It looks like some reviewers on here have either neglected their vehicle or just found one that was thrashed to within an inch of its life (usually ex-PO). It`s quite true that a lot of people only find out where the bonnet catch is after they break down. Even though the engine is an Italian Multijet, it does not mean that it is rubbish. These are great little engines.

written by Nolanp181 on 10/11/2015

Have had van for 3 years,bought it with 40k on it, it now has 137k.Oil and filter change every 10k it's the cheapest mechanic ever, keep this clean and look after it and it will look after you. Just had new clutch it's normal wear and tear, never failed an mot. Excellent fuel economy and reliability. Would I buy again? oh yes

“For the review above, if you want the map light on...”

For the review above, if you want the map light on press the headlight knob in, goes to show how little you know your van!!!!!!!! So please ignore his review.

Had this van for 6 months, drives well, very comfortable ( bearing in mind it is a van not a car) Hasn't let me down and feels solid and robust. It is easy to drive and everyone who has used it has said they want one. Cup holder holds my drinks fine.

Would recommend to anyone!

Bought ex Parcelforce for £2000 44,000 miles now got 60000 miles. slight oil from turbo feed.40 mpg regularly.This van has been mercilessly thrashed
down to the south of France (90mph all day) its gagging for it.Been up to northern Scotland more sedatley.Apart from regular servicing it has had a side light bulb.Do not pay full price the country is awash with used vans.
just make silly offers if they dont accept walk away they want your money more than you need there van.
definetly recommend
