Finally found my baby

[A1Dan75]

So, after weeks of nagging you all with inane questions, I just got home with my new baby...

Shadow Blue 07 170bhp TDI Sport Estate.

Heavy mileage... 90k, but she drives like a dream, no unnerving noises or smoke. Injectors have been replaced a couple of motnhs ago, so I figure they should last a little while.

Full VW service history, and the dealer threw a one year warranty in.

Bags of kit - can't remember what's standard on the sport, but it's got Cruise, Digital Climate Control, Front Fog lights, Heated Electric seats, Heated front window, Tyre pressure sensors.

One happy A1Dan75... now time to touch wood and cross fingers!

Thanks to everybody who has helped with my purchasing decisions... DSG, Smasher, Martin, Rappy and loads more.

Long trip to London in it tomorrow during which I can try and work out how everything works. Will doubtless be back on here after the weekend with a load more stupid questions about how that damned hand brake works and stuff!

You sure you havnt got the SEL version? as they have red I's

Other then that congratulations and welcome to the world of the B6

Dont worry about the milage..if the cars been looked after you got nothing to worry about.

This is a little worrying, as I thought it was the 2006 140bhp engines with the siemens injectors that were failing, not on 2007 170. Are you sure it was the injectors that were replaced? Worrying if this is more widespread.

Both the 140 and 170 have them fitted its engine type. PD yes CR no.

Great!!!! Pleased to hear you finally got one sorted. Manual or dsg? Thanks for the mention

Yep - cloth sports seats instead of the leather & suede, front fogs, and I'm pretty sure I can notice the difference in the ride.
Oh, and the HPI confirms too!

I think most of the extras are down to the Winter Pack 2 option?

Yep, seems to be the case - being an 07, this is, of course, a PD.

Er... no probs (haven't hastily edited the OP, honest!)

The red i indicators 170 not 140

did you buy a dsg?

[A1Dan75]

No, good ol' stick shift.

Was quite tempted / intrigued by the DSG, but at the end of the day there aren't that many on the market (there are few enough 170s generally), and it seems to add a decent premium to the price.

Maybe next time!
