RE: 300 TE knowledge please

Usual problems: if the thermostat cover (top front of the engine) is black ABS plastic, then replace it ASAP with the updated part (alloy). Oil leaks from the water-pump housing and timing chain cover are not unknown; any overheating can lead to head work. Mine needed all the fuses in the fusebox changing for new ones. Look carefully at the OVP relay (behind the battery) and search hear for 'OVP' to read other people's tales. Ditto the EGR valve and lambda sensor (in the exhaust, under the fromt footwells).
