Hi, I currently own a crappy 1.3 CDTi Corsa and I'm looking into a 2.0tdi fr ibiza.
I've test drove them and they feel really nice and responsive to drive.
I just wanted to come on here and ask is there anything I should look out for in ways of problems when buying one.
Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated?
Thanks

Can't say I know of any common issues on them, i've had mine a year now.

DPF is something to be aware if, if you do a lot of short runs like me its something you need to keep on top of. Be aware of it doing an active regeneration and driving at constant 2k revs untill it clears, if you get two interrupted regenerations you get a DPF light which means you must go and do a regeneration.. if that fails you get an engine management light and that usually means new DPF iirc.

This thread pretty much covers it.

MPG is so so, my average over the year i've owned it is 41.53.. best I ever had on an eco motorway run was 51.50

MPG on trip computer is exaggerated by about 20% I've found.

Yeah I do 70 miles a day and about 90% of the is motorway so I should have no problems with the DPF.
I am not to worried about paying more for fuel if I have a nicer, faster car.
Thanks for your advice

A 2.0 cr will feel like a super car compared to what you have, I went from a 190bhp corolla tsport and was surprised how quick it felt

Yeah I've drove a few cars in the short time I've been driving and I'm surprised how quick it felt!
Had my aunties Audi A4 with 180bhp with and it was quick but the ibiza felt just as quick if not quicker

I can't fault the corsa, it's been a good reliable car but it's time for something better and faster

I think you'll love it then, CJAA is a fantastic engine.


I don't know if you can help but it won't let me post anywhere else, it's saying I have to make 15 posts before I can create another post, but I can't create a post to do that.
I was trying to create a post in the newbie section because I picked up my new Ibiza yesterday?

The light red ones are nice to! It's pre facelift which is quite nice because the Fr is under the grille not on it! And doesn't have heated seats, sorry about my stupidity but I don't know what a garmin is hahahaha
