The one I had seen had only had the haldex serviced once in its 100,000 so didn’t go to see it, thanks for everyone guidance and advice. I have to find a car asap as mine was was written off and only have the courtesy car for a limited time from the at faults insurance. Looking at prices for a solid S3 example and what the damage engineer assessor is offering despite my examples of similar cars, I’ll have to cut my cloth accordingly and go for the cheaper (less fun) option of another older civic.
Thanks for everyone’s input, it’s much appreciated.
Thanks for the advice. I’ll check with the dealer re the service intervals. I don’t have access to a VCDS, would rac/aa inspection have one if I get them to look it over, as the car isn’t local? Thanks again
