Hi guys,
I've got my eye on a 2.0 auto petrol, fuel consumption aside, is this config a reliable one? Does anyone here have any experience with the 2.0 EW10 engine? What autobox is it mated to? as its had to find any info on them at all. For example, cambelts, gearbox oil etc, what should I be looking out for as it has covered around 100,000 miles already.
All advice is appreciated.
Thanks!

Re: MK3 C5 - EW10 Auto
As you say, many of the the members have the HDi variants here, so without a VIN, I can't really help you as there is there are a few transmission variants such as the Auto AL4, the AM6, the 6 Speed piloted manual box etc. If you could grab the VIN, I could run off a spec sheet for that vehicle for you, so you could see everything it has on it.
There will be pretty much similar known problems in common with the diesels such as the Steering Rack leak, driver's window breaking (water ingress) - but nothing insurmountable!

Hi thanks for the speedy response
I can't provde VIN atm as the car is a bit far away and the guys not picking up. Also sorry for forgetting to give some more info. It's a 2008 (58) 2.0 Exclusive if thats of any use of course.
Thanks again!

Re: MK3 C5 - EW10 Auto
Ok according to the brochure at the time of the 08 model there were was only 1 box fitted to the petrol (both Saloon and Tourer Autos) and that was the AL4 4 speed sequential auto-adaptive automatic. As soon as you have the VIN, I'll send you the spec sheet.
From 2009 the Petrol was only available on the Saloon and that went to a 6 Speed Manual - with no option for an Auto box, so looks like the AL4 was only available for the Petrol up to 2008.
