  • Looking into a DS3 Racing

    Hi,

    im James or Ghosty (dont ask long story), im 35 and about to start a new job on monday yay go me

    im currently driving a peugeot 206 HDi GTi (yes bad choice of car i know, im paying for it now though) or a MG ZR 105+, im looking at getting a DS3 Racing, as it seems to have everything i want from a car (would need to change the taillights for the updated led ones) but besides that there is nothing else i would do to it, well a few little things. but nothing major.

    i have been looking on autotrader for a white one, these seem to go for around the £14500 to £16000 mark, is this about right for the car.

    i have read posts that the no1 and no2 cylinders tend to fail, is this a common thing or just unlucky drivers, what can be done to prevent this on say a car with say 15k-20k miles? is this only happening on high milage cars or is it just a ticking time bomb (like the k-series headgasket issue)?

    anything else i need to know before buying one???

    Welcome to the club

    Depending on who you speak to, the engine issues either only happen to unlucky drivers or mean you're guaranteed to need an engine replacement at some point. Have a look at Ragnaroks build thread for some info on popular preventative measures you can take (catch can, uprated pistons etc).

        Hmm... There was an issue a few months ago where old attachments were lost.
