I'm in the market for a new estate options at the moment are c class, 320d or another octavia vrs which I'd readily have again. Any other ideas?
It's done over 111000. The only issues up to this point have been the EGR valve, which has needed two replacements already.
The engine is fine as are the electronics. It's the bits around it that are failing.
Arse. The car (2010 Citroen C4 HDi) had got a dodgy ERG valve (for the third time) and the brake vacuum pump needs replacing. So £550 in parts. And it needs a service. So realistically an £800+ bill. On a car worth around £1000. Time to scrap, of do I bite the bullet and hope it lasts another 12-18 months?

Can you not just fit a blanking plate?[Some googling later] not so simples.... can be done, but you need a ECU remap:https://www.berlingoforum.com/thread-13407.htmlStill, in my mind more environmentally friendly to delete EGR and keep running a few years than bin and buy new.
Whats your definition of woefully low? Timing belts are normally approx 400-500 if my shit car knowledge serves me?
Guess when you get to that mileage it's a risk thing - will it go pop, won't it?
That’s not too bad a price... mine (different car but similar cost to yours brand new) is on a 14 plate 120k and worth £4K....
