PD160? Anything to look out for?

[mpm1987]

Hi there.

Im looking at getting myself back into another Ibiza, this time the 1.9tdi 160

Are there any known problems or anything I should look out for on them?

Thanks!

Rear wiper water spray
EGR valve judder
Electricals, mostly on older models though
All suspension - uneven tyre wear
the rest is pretty sound, just look for a well cared for example =]

Clutch wear (even on early miles)
Faulty accelerator pedals (check how it idles and how it idles after a drive - if the revs rise higher than 900rpm then there is a pedal sensor fault)

Pretty sound then.

I know on the 150 lumps they have early camshaft wear.

Does anyone know the engine code for the 160 lump?

Thanks
