Allen (82 SD) has been a bit of a slug at cold start. Once she warmed up, it was pretty good running. I had done a Turbo clean product which seemed to make the car run much better, but made starting a real issue. Tail pipe was pooping out a massive soot spot on cold start. There was also a

Who said not to buy any 320 cdi older than 2006 or 2007? My daughters experience with her 2005 or 2006 (I forget which) has not been good. The engine was fine but the transmission, or the 4WD part of it, had to be replaced, and she's had endless additional repairs such as the back lid, fixed.
