    Now, my TD5 auto is low mileage, just 60k. Immacuale service history, probably over-serviced. Anyway, it takes bout 2-3 months for the OED coolant to drop, enough to notice when cold, always do a under-bonnet check weekly. The fluid is "As New", totally clean. The oil is perfect, checked...

    Maintenance Advice

    I second charlsey's comment on fuel filter, make sure you really cake the oil/wd4o on it cos as the filter feeds heated fuel, and under 4psi it damn well welds itself to the poxy fitting, always undo anticlockwise.
