Buying A 2008 2.2 In Sunderland - Advise Please

[rednose66]

Hello!

 

I am a prospective C5 owner flying up to Sunderland tomorrow from Cardiff to view a 2.2 diesel in a car sales place next to the Metro Station. I am hoping that someone can give me a couple of pointers of what to look for on the car before buying it. Also, I was thinking of taking my bluetooth dongle with to use Torque on my phone to check for any messages or alarms. Would this work - it has on other makes of car - and if so where is the port to plug into.

 

Many thanks in anticipation! :)

hello and welcome to the forum. The diagnostic port is in the glove box for mk 1 and 2 c5s and under the center console armrest on a mk3 you really need lexia diagnostics or a top end scanner to get at any faults on a c5. could you pm me the reg of the car your buying also it wouldnt be near seaburn metro station would it. As we are just 4 miles down the road to sunderland and have just offloaded a very sick 2,2 mk3 c5. If you do a quick search on the forum we have just finished a topic on the common problems on the mk3s

Hi there and many thanks for your reply. The car is an 08 model new shape VTR+ in silver. The last three letters of the reg are pzy. Would this be the car you are referring to? I'm going to Parklane Car Center tomorrow. Please let me know as I've now got the option of one much closer to home as ell.

 

Many thanks.
