Is it my imagination or does everything I read on the GDI engine point to it being troublesome? I'm looking at an 03 v40 at the moment 107k and it has the aforementioned GDI lump in it. Does this mean I'm forever going to be putting my hand in my pocket or not?
I've read the previous posts about running it on super unleaded etc, but that just makes it less fuel efficient in my book. Please help, the car has everything else I need on it, and I'm super interested in it other than the GDI thing!
