I'm going to look at T5 Caravelle 130 Tiptronic , first reg in Dec 04, and the guy is looking for £14250. It has 32000 genuine miles on clock and looks every bit a nice vehicle.
The thing is though, I've read a lot on sites about owners having bad experiences with water pumps, leaking side windows, cam shaft sensors and probably the worst , oil in cooling expansion bottle .
Are there any particular engines to avoid and any good tips on what to look for ??

At the moment I have a 2001 T4 Caravelle 2.5 TDi automatic with 155K on the clock and thought it's about time to update , but I don't want to change out to anything where I start having problems.

Any of your views and thoughts please !!!!

Thankyou
