Buying A Leon TDI 150

[pauldredge]

Im new here and im just wondering what things to look out for when buying a leon tdi 150?

I know cambelt needs to be done around the 60/70k mark, when does it need doing again after that?

Do they suffer from the water pump issue or is the only the 1.8T engine that does?

Difference Between TDi 150 And The TDi 150FR

Is there any difference in them at all?

Just small cosmetic changes.

It will need doing again around the 110-120k mark after that I believe (someone may confirm that. They dont suffer as bad from the water pump issue however its best to get it done to the metal impeller anyway.

what small cosmetic changes are we talking about?

Different wheels, mattish silver mirror covers, silver centre console and different seats. All of course are down to personal tast. Some FR+ cars come with the LCR body kit and 17" version of the wheels.
