Hi all,
In the not-too-distant future I'm looking at purchasing a light project car / come daily driver and I'm seriously considering a 405 Diesel.
A '95 405 SRDT Wagon has come up for sale locally, and I'm just after a couple of pointers as to what 405-specific things I should be looking out for when I go and inspect this car beyond the normal "make sure everything works, nothing leaks/creaks" type of thing.
I've had a bit of a search around the forum and there's not really a whole lot I've been able to find on 405 common problems (other than problematic climate control systems).
I've also read that if the injection system hasn't been upgraded with 'Vitron' (Bitron?) seals that this can cause issues... Is there any way to visually check this? Apologies if this is a stupid question, but the world of diesel is completely foreign to me :joker:.
Thanks,
