Hi, i'm new to this forum and firstly wanted to say how imformative you have made this forum.
I am considering buying a diesel sedona at around 2000 to 2003 registration andask foryour collective thoughts on whether I should go for the older TDi model or as I have seen on honestjohns forum a Common Fail Diesel (CRDi). I have read all the previous threads on the scary prices if your high pressure fuel pump goes on a CRDi even to the point of replacing injectors, rail and flushing the fuel tank. Would this still happen with an old mechanical fuel pump (TDi) and what are the costs?
I know the performance is not as good on the older model and apparently the older models have oil pump and turbo problems, can you shed any light on this.
Obviously I would like it to be the cheaper option if things went bad and not write the car off because of a fuel pump.
Also does the sedona have a solid or dual mass flywheel (DMF)?
