Did you inspect the vehicle or just get a stiffy upon seeing it and chuck your money at the seller?
Dead serious. You didn't notice there had been an engine fire or it had a wheel nut missing?!

Stiffy and threw money!
The locking nut is replaced by a generic nut.
The fire was caused by a sponge them had wrapped around the injector to stop the leak. The burning has happened since I purchased it.
No I didn't lift the plastic engine cover.
I did pay for a service, cam belt change and inspection on purchase.
Tried my best with little knowledge!2016 D4 Landmark

At least you're honest.
I'm sorry you've had a bad time with it and hope the outcome is what you deserve!

And has the service, cam belt and "inspection" been done, I wonder It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
