Spring perches up front should be closely inspected. Engine is great, with the exception of the glow plugs. This particular engine design has a tendency of having glow plugs break off in the head in the process of removal. Make sure that all the plugs are intact. In some instances, glow plugs have been broken off, and a dummy plug has been connected in order that avoid the check engine light from coming on. Try and get the prior service records if possible. Gives you a heads up on what needs to be done. Good luck!!
