I almost bought a nov01 2.9 Sedona SE this afters but withdrew on the last minute because I could not tell if the engine was a 'common rail CRDi' (
143bhp ) version.The car model was a phase II version with the bigger grill. I understood that the earlier models called LX,SX,GSX all had the TD (125bhp ) engine , but the phase II which were post Nov 01 called L,LE,SE were the 2.9 CRDI versions. Parsker website seems to confirm this.
The problem is, when I looked on the engine, nothing on the plastic covers said CDRi, in fact all I called find was "TDI double overhead cam 16V"
The seller did advertise it as a CRDI so he's now flapping because he doesn't know what the hell it is. We actually rang the local dealers and their mechanics looked ar a nearly new Sedona and an older one. The nearly new one definately said CRDi on the cover and the old one said TDI.
If I could get some pointers that could satisfy me once an for all then I can either go for it or just move on.
EG if it said 16V, would this indicate is was a later version ? perhaps the original one was just 8V
Has any got any pics of the different engine bays so I can make a judgement?
Thx
