I've got 3 F6's to choose from depending on price, drive etc so I just needed to ask a few quick questions.1) Regarding transmission servicing, how often is it required with a 6 speed ZF and is it included as part of the 'log' service? As in, will I know when and how often it's been done?2) At what intervals are the brake services due? I read somewhere that it was 50,000 but I want to be certain so I can negotiate a little more strongly. This service includes pads, rotors and fluid right?3) Besides bushes and the odd driveline clunk and the like, is there any other major/common things to pay notice too?It will be inspected preofessionally and I will drive and inspect them all myself but I like to be well informed Thanks for the advice guys,Cheers,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zf never included in log book to be done and unless they've done their research the zf won't have been servicedHow many kms on the cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The less the better...As was mentioned, considering no ZF service I'd be stupid to get a high Km F6.Seen an absolute crakcer of an F6E with under 25,000kms that I'm seeing if finances will allow for "dream car right there"Cheers guys,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dealers here are asking stupid money for F6s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
