3.2 V6 what should I look out for ??? by chrisgg90 on Mon Dec 20, 2010 6:22 pm
Guys,

My brother is looking for a V6 and has seen one on autotrader with only 44,000 miles service history in mint condition etc 2000 on an X reg

Have worked on the enine once or twice when I worked in the garage but mostly servicing.

How reliable are they and is there any issues or common faults that I should be looking at on then?? From what I see on here and remember they seem to be a pretty good engine with no major issues

Thanks
Chris

Hi, thanks for the reply

Yeah I know all those faults got 2 Bs at the moment, It was just really anything specific to the V6 engine I was looking for what to look out for on them and any common engine faults with them.

had mine now for 6 months or so, Fuel bills!, before i installed LPG,a few niggly electrical issues, nothing serious. Locating some parts can be a pain in the Rs :butt:
