Title: Common failure points 2018 PD 2.0L petrol Manual
Post by: Stephyemmy on June 13, 2025, 18:37:28

Hi all,

I'm looking at buying a manual 2018 PD Active, 5dr hatch, 2.0L petrol engine. It has 108,000km on the clock.

Is there anything in particular I should be looking for when I inspect it or take it for a test drive. Aside from service history/obvious leaks, etc?

Fairly solid, particularly in a manual form.
Listen for a ticking engine. common fault in the Thelta and Nu engines.
