3.0 litre TDI owners - CO2 Question

[simfin]

I went to the DVLA and changed my plates using the retention certificate this week. They took my Tax disk and issued a new one with the new plate there and then.

I have just noticed though that the value of the Tax disk is £235, which I thought should have been £200. Mainly because the 08 brochure for the A4 Avant says the CO2 should be 179 g/km, also the dealer mentioned a charge of £200 when I purchased the car.

The V5C slip I have states 188 g/km so I am a bit confused. I know mistakes are made on these things. A friend of mine has a V12 Aston Martin who pays £110 / year ;) because his V5 states the incorecct CO2 for his car.


So, any info back from other 3litre TDI owners would be appreciated. mine is a 58 plate manual Avant. Apparantly mine is a 2009 I have been told from the VIN number

Many Thanks.

£235 here on a 59 plate - just taxed it today. 189 g/km

The 3.0TDI Avant was originally 188 g/km. Somewhere around July 08 this dropped to 179 for the manual (189 for the Tiptronic) and subsequently to the current 176.

Mine arrived in mid-August 08 and is 179 so given that yours is on a 58 plate perhaps it was built earlier.
