Content
6.814 -> Seat introduced the 3rd generation Ibiza
in 2002, the second Ibiza under VW.
15.743 -> The 6L, as this type is called, has a lot of similarities
with the VW Polo and Skoda Fabia from back then.
25.753 -> The car got a facelift in 2006
and went out of production in 2008.
31.491 -> In 2009 it was replaced by a newer model.
35.259 -> The Ibiza is available as
a 3-door and 5-door version.
38.531 -> Gasoline engines range from 53-178 hp,
diesel engines have 63-158 hp.
49 -> ENGINES
gasoline
53.8 -> ENGINES
diesel
61.973 -> The most attractive models are the Cupra and
FR, the most sporty and luxurious versions.
72.361 -> They were available with a gasoline or diesel engine.
76.328 -> They're hard to find, though.
If you want one, you'll have to look hard.
81.959 -> At the moment, about 5,500 Seat Ibizas of
this generation are for sale on Marktplaats.nl.
89.197 -> 1 in 5 has a diesel engine. You'll have to look
hard for an AT, because only 12 are for sale.
98.499 -> Prices for this generation Seat Ibiza
start at 1,000 euros
102.855 -> and go up 'til 12,500 euros for 2008 versions
with low mileage; the FRs and Cupras.
120.208 -> There are reasons to buy a Seat Ibiza.
It's a less boring design than a Polo,
126.25 -> even though they have the same technology, and
they're less wanted than a second-hand VW Polo.
131.748 -> There's no reason for this, because the technology
is the same, but it makes the prices more friendly.
143.779 -> The final reason to buy one, is that it handles well.
It seems light at first, but it's a precise handling car.
152.869 -> You can hoon it.
158.698 -> Of course there are things to watch
out for when looking for a Seat Ibiza.
164.748 -> To start with, the front suspension is known
to squeak. A set of rubbers needs replacing.
172.484 -> Also, the timing belt pulleys from the 1.4 and
1.6 gasoline engines are made out of plastic.
179.535 -> That stuff isn't as strong as everyone'd like it to be,
so you need to replace the pulleys every 4 years.
187.017 -> Check, when looking for a 1.4 or 1.6 gasoline
engine, if the pulleys have been replaced recently,
192.308 -> else you'll have to do this soon. If you
don't do it in time, things'll go wrong.
198.893 -> This will cost you a lot of money.
Then, a specific problem for the 1.2.
203.641 -> To begin, the EGR valve. It may cause malfunctions,
which results in engine power loss
210.628 -> or warning lights, etc. Test if
there's no engine power loss.
216.79 -> Always check for strange warning lights.
221.038 -> Then, the early models (2002-2003)
have problems with the chain tensioners
226.82 -> and the timing chain may break.
231.203 -> That's usually caused by bad maintenance
or not enough oil changes.
235.851 -> Check the maintenance history if
it had regular oil changes.
240.543 -> It never hurts to include an oil change when
buying the car, so you set off with fresh oil.
251.788 -> Finally, the 1.2 had a recall because
of a leaking crankshaft seal.
259.587 -> Check (again, with the early 1.2s) if the car
had this recall and got fixed at a dealer.
269.612 -> Then there are some things for the early cars from
2002. We're talking about all Ibizas, all engines.
275.819 -> They had electronic gremlins. Windows wouldn't
open or close, doors wouldn't unlock, etc.
285.147 -> The taillights stay lit. Check if all the electronics
work as they should. Test all the buttons.
292.435 -> Test all the buttons. Check if everything
responds. If not, ask the seller to fix it.
298.817 -> If you're looking for a 1.8 turbo... It's a
fun engine, but there was a bit of a problem
306.158 -> with moisture underneath the fuse box,
stopping the cooling.
310.494 -> If the engine temperature runs high,
this may be the cause.
313.596 -> It's easy to fix by replacing the fuse box with
a new one and spray WD40 from time to time.
324.065 -> This keeps the moisture out, the Internet says.
And if it's on the Internet, it's true.
329.988 -> You probably won't have that problem then.
Lastly, let's talk about the car we're driving today.
336.746 -> We borrowed it at the PON dealer in Barneveld.
340.245 -> It's a pretty black car with the 85 hp 1.4 engine.
It did a little over 49,700 miles.
346.232 -> It's pretty in black-black. That's not very
spectacular, but a sought-after combination.
354.377 -> A pretty thing, for sale for a hair
under 6,500 euros in Barneveld.
359.1 -> THIS CAR
374.777 -> If you're looking for a second-hand car and want
our help, or if your company has a nice car for sale
381.1 -> for which we may shoot a video,
please send an e-mail to [email protected]
387.9 -> Subtitles - Maru's Text Support
