cardaft Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Ive had two Arosa TDis ...Really there is very little to look out for on the TDis specifically, as they are actually the hardiest of the lot. No pedal box issues, gearboxes are strong and the engines usually go on forever. Check for cambelts, they are every 40K miles or 4 years. These rarely get done at this interval and its a must, so make sure the one you get has had a recent change or budget that into your buying costs/haggling. If you replace the cambelt kit yourself, get the water pump changed too. 1.4TDis use the PD specific oil, which is cheap (£20-£25 from the dealers) but it should be used. There is no way of checking this is in a car already unless receipts are there, but id change to that at the earliest point. Obviously you want one this side of 2001 which will be the lower tax of £30 a year. Other than that, just do the usual car checks, as you would with any car. Arosa TDis are a similar spec to the Lupo Sport TDi, give or take a few things between them. Early examples of both had light interiors and no ABS. Later cars had dark interiors and the late Arosa TDis had ABS fitted. I had my 2002 Arosa TDi for 2 and a half years, covered 34K miles in it and sold it with 60K miles. I never had any problems with it, it was an excellent car. I recently bought a 2003 Arosa TDi with 54K miles which was a very good car, but i just couldnt live with the size of it after having a bigger and more refined car, so ive sold it. They do keep their value well, which is excellent news. I lost £200 in depreciation in the 2.5 years with my first one! I dont think i can add any more really. Good luck with the search for one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
