Hi everyone
I just today purchased a 2010 2.0 tdi cr engine estate. The car has 93,000 miles.
I collected the car which ran fine no issues, travelled 5 miles and heard a tapping noise as I approached a junction. I stopped at the junction and as I set off the car stalled? It would not crank over. When I press the key it does nothing no click, no start but the ignition and dis do come on. I have come here to ask for opinions the car has been recovered by the dealer they seem genuinely shocked as the car has been on several test drives.
I saved for this car for a long time ( not a wealthy man ) and made sure it was a CR engine, with as low mileage as I could afford. I am leaning toward it being seized due to failed oil pump shaft but it's a CR engine and I was sure they were redesigned to avoid this. Gutted is an under statement.
