I will be looking at changing my 300tdi in the new year and moving up to a 3.9 v8 auto apart from the usual disco rot problem is there anything i should look at engine wise know problems head gaskets running etc

thanks in advance
 
can you point me in the direction of the k-seal and should the temp needle be half way up the scale sitting in the middle simlar to the 300 tdi
 
v8 should idle at half way on temp and colant hoses should be sqiudgy when warm.

should have a slight rthymic tick and nothing more!!
 
My needle just covers the bottom of the thermometer temp symbol and never moves summer or winter and the only sound from the engine is the the fan, various pullies and serp belt spinning around, but its aounds a bit different from the tail pipe. Perfect.:D
 
If at all possible to verify, check that V8 engine has had regular oil changes. Pretty sensible for any engine check, but officially oil changes should in theory occur every 3000 or so miles, which is way more frequent than more 'modern' engines, and many owners realise.
