2.5 X-Type - What to Look Out For?
Discussion
Hi All
My brother is looking to get a X-type as his first car. He won't be doing many miles, and likes the petrol models. After doing some very cursory research, it appears the 2.0l models seem to suffer more issues than the 2.5 and 3.0; and as the 3.0 tend to fetch a bit more money he is looking at a 2.5.
Can anyone tell me what to look out for particularly? I know the transfer boxes are known weak points. What is a sign of imminent failure?
Are there any other issues to be aware of?
All feedback is gratefully received.
