Due to the number of kilometers we turned to go home we have taken an important decision

Due to the number of kilometers we turned to go home we have taken an important decision. We look for a nice used TDI! But what we do. A golf course. Immediately marketplace spent one night and went looking for a nice VW Golf variant. After a long search these cars were still very to the price and I started looking for another VAG station. What appeared now, a Cordoba-Vario is much cheaper and also once rare. Especially if you go for the version with the 110HP strong ASV engine. Within a week, we were in the possession of the above car. The car had been running at the time of purchase 223.000KM we have paid € 3,950. Not cheap but the car was just us very much.

As well run after then! (224,000 km)After a week with the car we have still got some problems driving at. The car radio did not go out, this was easily solved by simple way to push a tape in the player. Also, do not start the car good as it was by warm through and through. Through the internet I found out that this happens more and that this could be resolved through a software update. A few villages further (NUENEN) I arrived at Vagtechniek as they have also solved the problem starts and also put the ERG closed. Also I have the car made a big turn, the filters were compared to those of my old Ford Mondeo somewhat expensive. In a while we go by car to Portugal (2100KM), I wonder what I will soon tell you about it.

Portugal and ride back (230.500 km)For the trip to Portugal, we have achieved a very emergency kit at home: Oil, Coolant, bulbs and fuses. And guess what, none of that was necessary. The car did not flinch. Okay oil level has dropped slightly but that can call you normal. The TDI engine has also walked by twice 24 hours. To thank the car still on tour, we decided to chip the car. The same will happen again with Luke and Martin Vagtechniek in Nuenen. I'm already looking forward to an even smoother running engine. If this is done, I will certainly know what to tell you more.

A chipped car works very well, but in the winte (236.000 km)In late August, we leave the car at Vagtechniek chipping in Nuenen. Highly recommended. There was only a problem. I Greeg Lucas and Martin Cordoba ASZ a car loan with it, it was through their chipped to +/- 160hp. When I came to pick my own car's ability was so disappointing. However, the car has by now become noticeably faster through surgery. The cold had, however, helped my battery to soap but for € 130 you already have a new and which is now in there in October. In winter, the car will be affected by its slow getting hot engine. You're a minute or 25 on the road before the engine and thus the car come up to temperature. The car is now back at the boys Vagtechniek for an ABS fault. I have every confidence that this will as well solved by the people. In short you have something on your TDI visit Vagtechniek.
Been to Germany! (238 750 km)Car has recently had another turn at the boys Vagtechniek. I had again for one day a nice car in front, the A3 of the boss. Finally it was over as far as dark country! In Dusseldorf should be picked up family at the airport. I saw my chance to go to Germany to Cordoba. On the way back my mother was very slow with it, because you would not be allowed to go out full. On the way back really ... My mother sat chatted nicely with the just landed family members (2maal). I could finally go. Okay the bad asphalt I can not drive faster as 195km / h this, however, he went so smoothly that there was sure to go a kilometer or 25. by traffic and bad asphalt, however, this was not possible. Hope later abandoned and driven with a speed of 175 to the border. then back to normal 130. At home, of course, sounded the oil ,,, Nothing to worry about, so next time louder.
It is however all costly. (256 124 km)It was all very along. Athans as showed. The last time a lot verspijkerd the car. Take the link, they stayed on and stick to making the engine went out. He is then also replaced together with the two-mass flywheel. Also adjust the blades of the turbo was stuck. This caused an emergency landing. The turbocharger is also quickly cleaned. Together, the still considerable cost with some other maintenance. But the car then drive also great.

807 in the diesel version 2.2 HDi engine is a great combination. The model is fitted with seven seats and equipped. The automatic doors now meet after a period of 10 years without any problems. Focus are the headlights and license plate light, they must be replaced regularly. Consumption is about 1 in 12 (diesel) and 950 on a tank is the rule rather than the exception.

The car is equipped with dagdragers (very convenient), solar curtains behind and a DVD system that money is more than worth it. The towbar is a convenient option and I oo easily tilted.
It is a pity that the tire pressure sensors on the wheels do not work well with my set of wheels for winter tires.

In terms of driving is to say that the car as a block on the road to achieve high averages are no problems. The airo well and still works with a good indoor climate. The only desire for a following car would be three sunroofs and front bumper sensors. The car has now passed the 230,000 km, the first abnormal repair involved a faulty power steering pipe, not only inconvenient but expensive. The car also drives excellent, consumption between 1 in 12 and 1 in 13 and no oil. However, replacing lamps remains, in particular, a standard activity. The brand dealer service is super to mention that the car still is what will save also in the same mechanic maintenance. Even with the winter, the 807 ensures plenty of space and the 2.2 HDI is very strong which averages.
He Dieselling on (243.000 km)

In the meantime, a major service at 240,000 behind the back, with no additional work did not have to be carried out. Holiday in Italy has passed the 807 super despite the heat. The consumption hovers around 1 in 13.5. The huge bagegeruimte is pre certainly with 2 instead of 3 kids. On its high to reach the motorway cruising speeds wherein, in combination with a tank range of 1100 km, it remains a super combination. Trade continues to play but not available within the Peugeot range of alternatives. Decided yet but winter by driving the 807
Again a year later without major problems (295.000 km)

The 807 is approaching the 300,000 km and gone reasonably smoothly in the past 6 months. The 807 has never leave me but the loss of boost pressure was tricky. Fortunately fell along the cost (90 euros). Now he is on winter weather is at 300,000 a major overhaul on the schedule as a replacement for the discs and pads, not so disquieting things. The car consumes 7.7 liters per 100 km and is very reliable. There is about to come to a skiing holiday in Austria and enters the room with 5 people in handy. Decided to take the car but to drive until the costs no longer be proportionate. Think that the maintenance at an approved dealer contributes positively to the trustworthy image. Tricky was just that despite particulate filter you can not drive in certain cities in Germany because of the environmental regulations.
310,000 winter and MOT good footing (310.000 km)

Last week was the 807 to the MOT with a mileage of nearly 310,000.
Two special features: a rod between cooler and motor was what had become porous and had to be replaced. In addition, the ball joint was right to be replaced.
Summer tires again and among the under-engine guard omit out which links were hit by tire debris on the highway and replacement was not considered necessary. A shock but tyribs were a solution.
Oil consumption is normal and I've never interim oil must refill. Consumption is 7.4 liters never been so low in the winter.
Moving from one of the daughters brought back the multifunctional nature as moving van up without problems mattresses, refrigerator, washing machine etc. carried therein.
In the meantime, two times went to Austria (what a relief diesel in Austria) with no problems.
It has been indicated by the dealer that no details expected were so next week there is a holiday in Denmark in the program in which all the seats (7 pieces) again will be useful and still left room for suitcases.
No interesting trade seen at the dealership, the 807 is as good as extinct on the road, just in Austria you can still see quite often the model.
The steering wheel which begins to bleb by a combination of sweat and use, but you get used to. I wonder how far we've come with the 807 until the costs would be disproportionate. We go to the 350,000 km and look on.
up to 340,000 (320,000 km)

807 the past six months has no problems have been served. Outside regular maintenance no details. Oil consumption is negligible. Consumption is 7.6 liters / 100 km mention tidy. No reason for trade-especially given the low resale value. Chair mechanism of one of the rear seats gives some problems, replacement may be considered. Windshield replacement because of rubble not approved dealer then reveals that mirror was not installed properly, sloppy Carglass. Once again it appears that a brand garage with the maintenance of the service intervals is a nice guarantee trouble-free driving. What is striking is that more needed to be replaced no headlight for 1.5 years. The 807 is similar drive a great car, let calm be warm and 6 adults in the car to keep it looking good. We hope to smooth kilometers in 2014 despite the mileage.
360,000 met and had no problems (360,000 km)

The past six months has 807 fine again spent, traveling to Sweden, France and Austria without problems outside a faulty reversing switch for the sensors (still troublesome if these do not work) and a gasket between the engine and exhaust only had regular maintenance. Still with the brand garage, partly due to quality and service. I still never need refilling oil interim and last month revealed that the tire pressure sensors still worked well because the low voltage message contained a nail in the tire, fine quality still for a French car.
Consumption is around 7.3 liters which I would have to add that I drive out quietly warm row and quieter row, but mostly long distances.
10 years old and still going strong! (370,000 km)

The first anniversary is over. The APK obtained without difficulty and in addition had regular heavy maintenance, FAP filter, particulate filter and one band headed back to the 400,000 km. Super reliable diesel engine of 2.2 liters and again soon moving from one of the daughters coming so space comes in handy.
However, his second seat mechanisms now to fold more difficult due to wear. What is disturbing is the chromium that flakes off when the doors but to have to spend nearly 600 euros of new ones!
