Bought a 2002 mk1 multispace 2.0 hdi earlier in the year and had every intention of introducing myself, to say how pleased I was with it: one owner, low mileage, FSH. Since then however the auxiliary belt shredded and took the timing belt with it, the exhaust fell off and the wiper motor packed in. Now I find myself posting about the front suspension in the problems page without having introduced myself first.
So better late than never.

While I sympathise with your predicament,My constant advice when buying S/H is change all serviceable items to prevent this sort of catastrophy.I hope you can do all or some of the work to keep costs down.Don't buy cheap parts.:thumbsup:

Agreed!! 12 years old. Depending on service history I certainly would've changed the
belts. But it's easy to be wise after the event! Let's hope nothing else falls off or breaks.
