Hi there,
I'm looking at 206 HDIs and went to view one the other night. It's a 115k car, in nigh-on perfect cosmetic condition, but there were two things that put me off:
- in 2nd and 3rd the gearbox sounded a little rattly
- accelerating moderately or hard from low revs made a nasty resonance noise from the engine(/bay)
Has anyone experienced either of these symptoms? Is the gearbox noise characteristc or symptomatic of a problem? I presume the engine resonance would be an engine mount rubber on the way out - how hard are these to change?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
Kind regards,
CHris Wood
