02 2.0DTi Any issues to lookout for - diddy1234
The wife is looking at buying a 52 reg 2.0L Dti Astra.

Are there any known problems with this engine size / type that I should look for ?

I know that the 2.0L Di engines are known for using a bit of oil, does this apply to the Dti engines as well ?

The car is immaculate for its age and has a full service history.
The mileage is nearly 140,000 should this be of concern ?

Thanks in advance

They drop fuel pump ECUs at around 120,000 miles. Since yours has gone over that it might be a good idea to check and see if it's been done......
