STRANGER 948 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Got a chance of an X reg 1.9 sdi caddy pickup. Wondering what they are like for fuel and reliability? Had a caddy before, but much newer and it was a decent motor. Any help much appreciated. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil82 1,088 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 v-dub`s usually good strong engine, just make sure the belts been changed when it should be done, and if your doing it yourself change the water pump at the same time, they use a plastic impellor on the pump that can work loose, then you lose water circulation and have overheating problems, only thing I can think of with the caddies is the gearbox is a bit weak for a pick-up, if its worked hard the box can go bang, also make sure you use the right oil, I`m sure that's a PD engine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
STRANGER 948 Posted March 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 What are they like on diesel Neil? I'm expecting it will be very slow knowing that type of engine, but was hoping for 50 mpg + if driven sensibly? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
